Alongside its regular performance programme, the Foundation places significant emphasis on audience engagement and loyalty-building activities. In the autumn of 2026, the Pazzi per l’Opera lecture series returns, with music lovers Marco Degiovanni, Roberto Gazich, Roberto Tagliani, and Piergiorgio Vittorini, who will share distinctive elements of the titles in the season, providing both a musicological and narrative overview of the works on the programme.
All events are free to attend until seating is full and are open to a diverse audience of both enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre. The meetings will take place on Saturday mornings at 11:00 AM in the Scenography Hall (entrance from Via Paganora).
