A polyphonic season that stretches from big names to the most representative realities of Brescia. A unique attention to young generations, experimentations with electronic music and Opera, audio-visual performances and new dance forms.
Again, the Foundation proves itself as a fruitful ground for classic music, international dance companies and appealing chamber music. Critic considerations about the present reality with an eye on history, the dissemination of the beauty of music in disadvantageous, care and solidarity places are tangible proofs of the deep sensitivity towards the cognitive development of our community.
Moreover, with big participative events such as La Grande Notte del Jazz and Festa dell’Opera it will be possible to (re)discover the monumental angles of the city with new spirit and new eyes thanks to the magic and charm of the music.
This year with the project Grande in Provincia you will have the pleasure to spot marvellous places while enjoying Opera concerts.

The 25th of October will be the first World Opera day, an initative led by international networks such as Opera Europa, OPERA America and Opera Latinoamerica.
World Opera Day was conceived inside the environment of World Opera Forum hosted in Teatro Real of Madrid back in 2018 with the aim of broadening the positive and effective value of the operatic genre inside the community. Opera plays a big role in the construction of tolerance, comprehension, open-mindness and cultural interchange, touching everyone’s feelings and universal values.
Numerous are the events organised all over the world, therefore Brescia will support this celebration with a particular initiative promoted by the Foundation of Teatro Grande – partner of Opera Europa – in collaboration with Gruppo Brescia Mobilità. In line with the goals that the Foundation has been promoting for years, in this special day, Opera will spread all over the city in order to reach the most diverse public as a universal genre suitable for all.
On Friday 25th October, from 15:00 to 19:00 the most well known world opera arias will resound from the terrace of Teatro Grande beside Corso Zanardelli. In the meantime, from 8:00 a.m to 08:00 p.m. music and voices will resonate in all metropolitan stations, famous arias will be ideally moved from town centre to all the city.
Anyone who desire to partecipate can do it by posting on social medias any content dedicated to Opera and sharing it with the official hashtag #WorldOperaDay.

Even for the new season 2019, Opera embodies the essence of Teatro Grande. During these years it has tried to give a new boost to the lyric genre through valued and innovative mise-en-scene that enhance traditional, contemporary and Twentieth century operas. Moreover the Theatre has organised numerous initiatives capable of reaching a new audience and encouraging a renew interest
Five are the titles proposed and coproduced in the Circuit of OperaLOmbardia. The season will start with an enthusiastic diptych with L’Heure Espagnole by Maurice Ravel and Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini. Followed by Gyglielmo Tell by Gioachino Rossini, Macbeth and Aida by Giuseppe Verdi. The season will close with the classic ballet The Beauty and the Beast with music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovski.
Tradition and contemporaneity are again the outstanding traits that characterise the offer of Teatro Grande. Guglielmo Tell, Macbeth and Aida are linked to the traditional repertoire but often rarely performed because of staging difficulties as in the case of Aida. Instead,
Gianni Schicchi and L’heure Espagnole (The last never has never been performed in Brescia) are manifestations of the Twentieth century collection.
