«The Festival Verdi finally returns to the Teatro Regio –states Anna Maria Meo, general manager of the Teatro Regio and artistic director of the Festival Verdi–. After last year’s extraordinarily complex and special experience of the open-air theatre at Parco Ducale, our “returning home” is meant to represent a new beginning, a sign of a concrete reprise after the many limits and challenges we had to overcome together».
