The Italian Touring Club is at the side, as in previous years, of the Festival dei Due Mondi di Spoleto now in its 61st edition. An unmissable appointment, which gives way to the Italian cultural summer – this year from 29 June to 15 July – with its original character and its international prestige. A historic meeting place between different cultures, the Festival dei Due Mondi offers a showcase of excellence to great artists and emerging artists and promotes new creations.
The midday concerts, which will be performed by young talents from the major Italian conservatories and winners of the National Arts Award, are back, very awaited, while the Concerts of the Evening will be curated by the “Francesco Morlacchi” Conservatory of Perugia. An international co-production, to which the Spoleto Festival has contributed, will then stage the new version of The Beggar’s Opera by John Gay and Johann Christoph Pepusch, with the musical idea of William Christie and the direction of Robert Carsen. The dance is represented by choreographers Lucinda Childs, Jean-Claude Gallotta and John Neumeier.
