Bergamo, theater doesn't stop and moves to the web

After nearly three years of restoration (as of February 2018), despite a work stoppage due to the pandemic, Bergamo ’s Donizetti Theater was expected to reopen its doors to welcome audiences again for the new Donizetti Opera Festival program.

The restoration involved the entire structure: rooms for the orchestra in the area under the stalls and the mobile orchestra pit were built; and again, a new space pe the dressing rooms, a new ticket office, new rooms for the bars, a new western body intended for offices, and rooms intended for rehearsals; all the boxes, the ceiling of the stalls and the foyer were entirely restored. A long and major intervention that cost an estimated 18 million euros.

Now, due to new health emergency restrictions, the theater, like all theaters in Italy, has had to close its doors, but without giving up.

In fact, the Donizetti Opera 2020 Festival is moving to the web, thanks to the new Donizetti Web TV. The first performances will then take place without spectators in attendance, but these and also the Talk with Gaetano series, presentations, meetings and more have been rethought for the web to make them accessible to all. The Festival began with Marino Faliero, Belisario in concert form and The Wedding in the Villa.

Access to web TV is free and it will be possible to see archival proposals or original materials, while viewing of all programs dedicated to the 2020 Festival, including streaming of the works, will be only for those who subscribe to the web offering.
