Virtual rooms

The activity of the theaters continues in the virtual rooms of the web and the initiatives in streaming multiply: the Theater of Rome proposes Mephistopheles freely taken from Goethe's Faust, conceived and directed by Giorgio Barberio Corsetti.

In a Rome alienated by the pandemic, Mephistopheles appears, who on the screen will have the appearance of Filippo Timi, accompanied by the spectator as he crosses the city studded with temptations to the detriment of Doctor Faust.

The three episodes of Mozart in Turin are available online, an original production of Unione Musicale, Teatro Stabile of Turin - National Theater, Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Turin: a "narrated concert" in which the actress and director Olivia Manescalchi interprets some pieces from works by Laura Mancinelli, who dedicated the short historical novel Amadé to the genius of Mozart.

The narration is intertwined with the performance of pages chosen from the Mozart chamber repertoire entrusted to twelve talented instrumentalists and singers, most of whom trained at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory.
