Grand opening for the Galli Theatre with the wonderful voice of Cecilia Bartoli, the world dance star Roberto Bolle, the great Russian master Valery Gergie and a great program until December

Cecilia Bartoli and the Musiciens du Prince
Roberto Bolle

After 75 years, the Galli Theatre reopens its doors on 28 October 2018 with the wonderful voice of Cecilia Bartoli and will go on until December with an extraordinary theatre program, thanks to the extraordinary presence of Roberto Bolle, world dance star and the famous Russian master Valery Gergiev.  A two-months opening, including special events, international stars, Sagra Musicale Malatestiana (Malatesta Music Festival), prose theatre season and exhibition of the artistic excellence of the territory.

The 'Amintore Galli' theatre of Rimini where the cruelty of war imposed silence and dust for decades raises again its curtain. The first inaugural event is La Cenerentola, by Gioacchino Rossini a semi-scenic performance, with the extraordinary mezzo-soprano world-class opera singer Cecilia Bartoli. She sold 10 million records and won 5 Grammy Awards, while few people know about her paternal Rimini roots. She will revive the relationship between Rimini and its theatre, performing accompanied by the Musiciens du Prince, a Baroque ensemble born in spring 2016 at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Together with Cecilia Bartoli, they have been guests of the most important European musical institutions unanimously supported by public and press. The wonderful tale of the girl who after a thousand adventures becomes a princess, helps representing the renaissance of the Rimini theatre.

Thanks to an advanced technological system and an accurate sound diffusion, the show will be broadcast in integral form on a giant screen outside the façade of the theater, with a spectacular scenography signed by Sergio Metalli, to offer everyone the opportunity to attend this great event (from 8pm). 

While Cecilia Bartoli makes the music resound in the evocative spaces of the restored 'Galli', the inaugural program will continue with the extraordinary presence of Roberto Bolle. Undisputed star of ballet dancing, Roberto Bolle has electrified audiences all over the world, enamouring even the television audience. He will make his debut on Saturday 3 November at 8 P.M. with an exceptional performance of Roberto Bolle and Friends, the exciting journey into the universe of ballet involving famous artists from all over the world (a show produced by ARTEDANZA srl)

The world-class opera will make its appearance in the Galli Theatre, on 10 and 11 December, thanks to the scenic performance of 'Simon Boccanegra 'by Giuseppe Verdi, directed by Valerij Gergiev. The famous Russian master intended to honour the reopening of Galli Theatre, involving the Mariinsky Theatre and directing the masterpiece of Verdi in the successful staging recently presented in St. Petersburg.

During the two months of opening, together with the three inaugural events, there will be special events. Among them,  the Malatesta Music Festival events with the likes of Svetlana Zakharova and the violin virtuoso Vadim Repin, Nicola Piovani and the Labèque sisters, the theatrical performances of the first season of prose at the Amintore Galli Theatre introduced by the extraordinary creativity of Peppe and Toni Servillo (on 30 October). There will be also frequent performances with musical and theatrical excellences of the Rimini area, a set of meetings on the history of theatre in Rimini and several occasions to make and propose a widespread culture.
