The meeting at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino offers a privileged opportunity to engage with one of the symbolic venues of contemporary Italian cultural production, long dedicated to experimentation and to fostering dialogue between the arts. The Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino stands out for its ability to combine tradition and innovation, positioning itself as a creative laboratory where different artistic languages meet and intersect.

Within this context, participants will have the opportunity to approach the world of opera through the performance of “Romanzo Criminale”, adapted from the novel of the same name by Giancarlo De Cataldo, with music by Oscar-winning composer Nicola Piovani and direction by Massimo Popolizio. The project represents a significant example of cross-genre dialogue, in which a powerful contemporary narrative is translated into the operatic language, giving life to an expressive form that blends musical tradition with modern storytelling.

The experience will be enriched by a meeting and exchange with the author himself, Giancarlo De Cataldo, together with the Superintendent Carlo Fuortes, as well as a private guided tour of the theatre’s spaces.
