Talking about Opera – Aleko / Pagliacci
This event is in Italian.
The art of storytelling is made up of intertwined threads that open up the enchantment of listening.
Beatrice Monroy tell us the story of the operas Aleko and Pagliacci with Giuseppe Cutino and Stefania Blandeburgo.
Tickets (3 euros) are available at the box-office and online.
You can access the Sala Onu through the stairs located in the stage door area (on the right side of the main entrance, close to Via Pignatelli Aragona). An accessible pathway, with no steps and the elevator, is also available (ask the staff for guidance).
About
The project
Beatrice Monroy – with readings by Stefania Blandeburgo, Gigi Borruso, Rinaldo Clementi, Giuseppe Cutino, Consuelo Lupo, and Sabrina Petyx – recounts the plots of the Operas staged at the Teatro Massimo to the audience, as well as the historical and cultural references on which the librettists based their work.
Our aim is to bring to the audience the extraordinary stories that inspired the Masters to compose their masterpieces.

Presentazione
La Fondazione Teatro Massimo e la Fondazione Gaetano Costa propongono un percorso di introduzione all’arte per bambini di scuola primaria che prevede la visita del Teatro e la partecipazione ad un laboratorio guidato da Marta Cataliotti, ideatrice del progetto narrativo ispirato alla storia della danza e del balletto.
Il titolo di balletto che verrà proposto ai bambini durante il laboratorio è Don Chisciotte (spettacolo incluso nella stagione 2026 del Teatro Massimo, andato in scena dal 29 marzo al 4 aprile).
La storia proposta verrà quindi riletta dallo sguardo fantasioso dei bambini che si introdurranno così nella metaforica “linea del tempo” trovando il loro spazio.

Programme
The plot
The legend of Tristan and Isolde, one of the most romantic stories of the Middle Ages, is very old: it tells the adventures of a knight and a princess who fall in love thanks to a magic elixir. Wagner composed the opera based on Goffredo di Strasburgo’s text and staged it in 1865. It is still considered one of the masterpieces of all time. The version that will be performed, while maintaining the essential dramaturgical and musical lines intact, is adapted in such a way as to exalt the magical and symbolic fairy-tale aspects of the story, which has at its centre important themes linked to the imaginary and ideal horizon of the world of chivalry, such as the search for love, the relationship between public morality and private morality, sin and fidelity.
