Fabula in Festival". The prestigious musical and multidisciplinary event, of prime importance in the international scene. The XXII edition of Ravenna Festival enters the world of fables and in just one month covers a wide variety of all kinds of performing arts: music, theatre, ballet, readings, cinema with an immense repertoire from ancient to the most innovative artistic languages.
From 7 June to 9 July, the endless world of fables will be explored, a world from which art has always drawn inspiration for its creations and of which Cinderella by Matthew Bourne and the Mozartian Magic Flute directed by Mark Dornford-May and set in South Africa.
However, the happy playfulness also affects the opera by Saverio Mercadante, I due Figaro, o sia il soggetto di una commedia, which Riccardo Muti proposes as a new link in the project rediscovering the “Neapolitan School” which extends into the eighteen hundreds.
But if the art of narration is the main theme of a series of meetings with important Italian writers, it is not at the expense of great classical music: besides Riccardo Muti, who will also conduct a concert, many great directors will be taking part in the Festival: Claudio Abbado, Kent Nagano, Zubin Mehta, Esa-Pekka Salonen.
The performances will take place in particular locations in the city such as the Alighieri theatre, the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe, the Basilica of San Vitale and the Palazzo Mauro De Andrè.
