'I believe that the San Carlo needs a lot of support from both public institutions and private sponsors. This long tour that it will do in France and then also the ballet tour in China is part of a path, a strategic choice because the San Carlo is a great testimonial for the city and the region, it is a very strong brand that will attract great attention to Naples and Campania and that will strengthen not only our image, but above all the great tourist flows that reward us.'
The mayor of Naples and president of the San Carlo Foundation, Gaetano, said this Manfredi, on the occasion of the presentation of the appointments in France of the Neapolitan Massimo. Manfredi underlined that "we are working together with the members of the Board of Directors to further strengthen the possibility of private sponsors, of large national and international groups that support the theater".
The mayor and president of the Foundation made a special mention of the San Carlo Ballet Company, composed of 40 elements, second only to that of La Scala in Milan. "The dance sector is very important for us - he said - and in the last two, three years a very important investment has been made that has stabilized the ballet company of which we must be very proud. We must continue on this path to enhance the quality work that is being done and that has had international feedback demonstrated by having received all these invitations.
There is a lot of demand and we can provide a very high quality offer”. The mayor underlined that “these international recognitions are not only for the San Carlo, which is an extraordinary cultural institution, but also for our city, its culture and its history and we must make the greatest possible effort to strengthen this path”.
