A double opening for the Teatro Regio di San Carlo with two new productions by Emma Dante and Mario Martone. A cutting-edge technology platform to reach every corner of the world via TV, social media, and cinema.

The academy to revive the tradition of bel canto entrusted to Mariella Devia. Initiatives for Il centeraio della morte di Enrico Caruso. A manuscript miraculously recovered to revive the tradition linked to San Gennaro. The start of the season at the San Carlo in Naples is full of new materializations. The opera season, in fact, includes a first appointment on October 12 with 'Bohéme' by Giacomo Puccini directed by Emma Dante, conductor Juraj Valuha, with the Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini in the royal box; and Sunday November 21 the real opening with 'Otello' by Giuseppe Verdi, conducted by Michele Mariotti and signed by Mario Martone.

Also interesting is the recovery of the tradition of the cantata for San Gennaro, which on September 30 at 19.30:1788 pm will see José Luis Basso conduct the orchestra and choir of the Massimo Napoletano in the Cantata for San Gennaro by Gaetano Manna at the Cathedral of Naples. The vocal performers are Maria Grazia Schiavo (Hope), Lucia Cirillo (Faith), Federico Fiorio (Divine Love) and Diego Godoy (Heavenly Genius). The eighteenth-century tradition required that to celebrate the day of the patron saint a musician of great fame would write a dedicated vigil. Manna's is dated 19; the manuscript of the instrumental part was in Montecassino, then transferred before the bombing to Spoleto and finally to Rome while the text was recovered in the library of maestro Roberto de Simone and now donated to the conservatory of San Pietro a Majella. Then there are two events for Caruso: next Saturday at MeMus, a day of studies on 'Enrico Caruso from Naples to America' and the inauguration of the documentary exhibition curated by the National Library of Naples, Lucchesi Palli Section, and MeMus Teatro San Carlo, curated by Dinko Fabris and Maria Iannotti. Sunday 19 September at XNUMX pm the musical tribute, with the Gala concert dedicated to Caruso that will feature Francesco Meli, Francesco Demuro and Xabier Anduaga.

On the podium, leading the San Carlo orchestra will be Marco Armiliato. Lissner confirms the creation of a dance company with 40 permanent dancers, even though the competition is awaiting authorization from the Ministry of Culture.

Finally, an appeal to Minister Dario Franceschini. “In Europe, theaters now have 100 percent capacity - He says - with a mask and a green pass it can be done. The situation in Italy is better than in other countries. I hope that we can achieve this, that the country of music returns to the real capacity of theaters. Today we are 50%, that is, for the San Carlo 750 seats. Not enough to generate a good economic return for a production”.

For the academy, where Mariella Devia will teach 3 times a week for 10 hours, rooms have been created in the former homes of the caretakers, now retired, and from 363 applications for admission, 12 talents who have already graduated have been selected, mostly from Campania, but also Cuban, Japanese and Chinese. The lessons start on October 18. Exchanges with students from La Scala, Covent Garden and Bolshoi are planned.
