Genoese comic Beppe Grillo leads the populist Movimento Cinque Stelle, now the third-largest political force in Italy.
LOCAL, EUROPEAN AND GLOBAL POLITICS
Italy waits for the Greek election results before deciding strategy for its own voting next spring
L
ocal elections normally just give politicians a hint of what they might expect in the general election; they allow the parties to adjust their sights to whatever is next. But not this year. More than a wake-up call for the traditional parties, last month’s elections sounded more like a death knell; for which parties we shall know some time early next year when they reorganise in time for the spring general election. While the traditional parties are working to recover credibility, Mario Monti’s non-party government navigates between a seriously damaged Greece – which risks defaulting on its debt and/or leaving the euro – and continued pressure from the markets as it tries to keep domestic discontent under control and encourage economic growth. Instead of political tension winding down before the summer break, it risks rising dangerously. Greece goes to the polls on 17 June and there is a European leaders’ summit at the end of the month when they will have to deal with the results. Monti has been pushing for growth since January and has used his own standing in Europe to back up this policy, but he had to face the Franco-German call for austerity first. Now, after François Hollande’s victory in France and the Christian Democrat set-back in German local elections, Chancellor Merkel is in a much weaker position to block growth. Last month’s G8 also saw President Obama encouraging European growth because his own re-election in the United States depends at least partially on a European recovery. The most immediate and acute problem, though, is still Greece. In May’s elections, the electorate rejected the traditional parties and Europe’s stringent austerity measures. The European institutions and leaders and the G8 still hope that Greece’s position in the eurozone can be maintained, but there are contingency plans for a default and there is even a new word “Grexit” for Greece leaving the euro. At the same time as negotiating with the European partners and trying to calm international markets, Monti has to mediate between the ever fractious elements of the coalition which support the government. His January growth package still languishes in parliament with each party loath to pass measures to liberalise restrictive practices that would hurt their constituencies, be they taxi drivers, pharmacists, petrol station owners or wholesalers. He and the minister of labour, Elsa Fornero, promised wide-ranging reforms to the labour market in March, but progress stopped when unions and employers refused to compromise on changes to article 18 of the Workers’ Statute. This gives an unfairly fired worker the option of getting the job back instead of being given monetary compensation. It only affects tens of cases every year but has become the symbol that employers want to bring down and unions want to defend. The other big issue, the reform of the administration of justice, has not even been broached. An efficient and rapid court system would help economic development if civil cases could be decided quickly. Justice as a whole would be served by reducing the interminable trial times. A recent Wanted in Rome 13 June 2012
book* compares the US and Italian systems and has provoked much discussion. In a seminar at the British embassy in Rome, English and Italian judges and lawyers identified the sticking points in the Italian system and suggested remedies. But none of the suggestions are likely to be on the statute books before the next elections. Reform of parliament and the parties is not within the government’s mandate but the parties themselves have dragged their heels on every issue. First and foremost in the public mind is a reduction in public financing for political parties, accentuated by the scandals in the Lega Nord and the now defunct Margherita. In both cases, the treasurer is alleged to have shifted millions of euro for personal profit. There is much talk of a reduction of party financing but so far there has been little action, and in any case the proposed reductions are minor. There is also the perception that the parliamentarians are the highest paid in Europe and there is much talk and some proposals to reduce the number but little chance of a constitutional amendment passing before next year’s elections. Another issue on which party leaders apparently agree but do very little is the electoral law. The present law, nicknamed porcellum, roughly “pig’s dinner”, gives a premium to the winning coalition and has a fixed party list. This means that parliamentarians are beholden to their leader (who put them high enough up the list to be elected) rather than to the voters. There is much talk of introducing a French-style double ballot, but again, we should not be holding our breath. Finally the president of the republic, Giorgio Napolitano, has urged parties to leave space for younger leaders to replace Italy’s gerontocracy, but in this case, too, there is little sign of anyone stepping down. The effects were felt in the local elections. In the run-offs at the end of May, turnout was down to almost 50 per cent of the electorate, a record low. All the established parties did badly. The Lega Nord, hit by scandals, lost everywhere except Verona where outgoing mayor Flavio Tosi has a strong personal following. The centre-right Popolo della Libertà lost support across the board, so much so that Silvio Berlusconi has hinted that he might make a come-back. The centre-left did well but the biggest party, the Partito Democratico, did well only when led by a non-PD candidate, which is not a good omen for next year. The only undoubted winner was the Movimento Cinque Stelle led by Genoese comic Beppe Grillo, whose candidate came from behind to win in Parma. Polls give the movement over 10 per cent nationally, the third biggest block of votes. But to be successful next year, it will have to move from its very effective grass-roots campaign to a national organisation and platform and show that it can actually run a city like Parma. And that campaign is only just beginning. James Walston *Antonello Mura e Antonio Patrono, “La giustizia penale in Italia: un processo da sbloccare. La lezione americana”.

SCHOOL OR SCUOLA?
What to do when relocating to Rome with school-age children
A
s an American mother of two and Rome resident since 2010, my advice about local schools is often solicited by new and imminent arrivals as they anxiously research educational options. While I don’t claim to be an authority on the subject, I can attest to a modicum of expertise based on direct and indirect experience, anecdotal evidence and a statistically relevant amount of hearsay. Among your considerations should be the age of your children and the length of your proposed stay as well as cost and convenience. Our kids were just starting primary school when we arrived, and instilling an appreciation of Italian was paramount to our 12-24 month relocation plan, so my husband and I were set on a scuola italiana. Our quandary was whether to go public or private. Soon after initiating research, a general consensus emerged among both Italian and nonItalian parents we spoke with that, unfortunately, public schools here no longer have the stellar reputation they once enjoyed – many in fact are so drained of funds that they can’t even provide toilet paper in the restrooms. We ultimately chose the private route once we had learned that long waiting lists were the rule at Rome’s best-regarded public schools and that a private Waldorf-inspired option was within walking distance that cost half as much as my son’s day care in California. We also thought it would help ease the transition abroad. Happily, it was the right choice: the teachers were super, our kids made friends quickly and they began speaking Italian confidently and embellishing their frequent outbursts with expressive hand gestures after only six months. Unfortunately, our Waldorfian paradise was forced to move across town over the summer so we were faced with a difficult decision: run the gauntlet of Roman traffic by driving to the school’s new far-flung location to double park twice daily, or transfer to the local Catholic school 12 minutes away by foot. As Americans who relish our new pedestrian lifestyle and recoil at the thought of willingly raising our blood pressure by getting behind the wheel at rush hour, and as non-religious former Catholics forswearing religious education for our offspring early on, this wasn’t an easy choice for us. Ultimately we opted for proximity over ideology and registered at the Catholic school. It’s more traditional than what our kids are used to, in that they’re expected to sit longer and do more homework, but an acceptable trade-off for the sake of our entire family’s well-being and my sanity as their daily chaperone. We’re satisfied with our decision, but I’m less thrilled that Italians across the board invariably pretend they didn’t hear you or look at you with a shocked, uncomfortable expression when you suggest the possibility of volunteering in the classroom. On the plus side, our kids have the option to stay until 17.00 and are becoming acquainted with the theological underpinnings of the Western Canon – to the point that they now authoritatively fill in the more vivid/bloody details for us when we encounter cautionary church frescoes. My chef husband most appreciates the fact that they get a three-course hot meal every day. For me, the icing on the cake is they’re actually learning the libretto from Mozart’s Don Giovanni in preparation for a performance this spring. It’s been truly amazing to hear them singing my favourite opera at the dinner table and not something I could ever imagine them doing back in the US. In short, the school is more academic than ecclesiastic, the teachers are firm but loving, and music and Wanted in Rome 13 June 2012
Finding the right school is not easy.
athletics are available on site after school at a discount – a fine solution for those planning to stay a year or two. Some other families here at the American Academy in Rome that were stranded by the Waldorf-inflected school with us last year decided to transfer to a highly regarded private international school where instruction is in English and more academically rigorous, there’s a door-to-door school bus, and annual tuition is on a par with that of a private university back home. Kids love it and the field trips sound enviable (e.g. outings to Pompeii in fifth grade; to Venice in eighth), but parents consistently remark that the rubric of “the more you pay, the fewer number of days” applies when it comes to total class time. If you go this route and work outside the home, be sure to develop an extensive roster of on-call babysitters. We’re moving back to California in August, but if we were staying any longer we’d most likely consider making the commute to one of Rome’s more traditional Waldorf schools. The overall emphasis on the arts is right up our alley and a great way to learn/reinforce a language. Plus, the quality of baked goods at all those inevitable classmate parties promises to be above average given the pervasive philosophical preference for handmade over commercial. Bottom line: • If you like the idea of your child becoming bilingual and increasing your own opportunities for meeting locals and speaking/learning Italian, consider an Italian school. You could always transfer to an English language institution if it doesn’t work out. • If you already know you want an Italian school, fear your kids are already too coddled, need first-hand anecdotes for the book you are currently researching on how state educational systems everywhere are in decline and want to get to know Rome beyond the picture postcards, go public. • Alternatively, if your children are older and well on their way to preparing for British/American system exams and you’d like meet other Englishspeaking ex-pats who work at FAO and the World Food Program, an English-language international school might be the better course. The decision is of course a very personal one, but I would be confident that the younger the child the easier it will be for her/him to adjust to an Italian school and pick up the language quickly. If anything, we parents often prove to be the less flexible ones. Marie Dolcini Marie Dolcini is an American writer and mother of two, fortunate enough to reside at the American Academy in Rome.

MACRO Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma, better known as MACRO, is the city’s museum of contemporary art. Situated near Porta Pia it was converted out of a former Peroni brewery and opened in October 2002. In 2004 French architect Odile Decq was commissioned to add a new wing, which was opened in December 2010. MACRO houses an important permanent collection of about 600 works, mainly by Italian artists from the second half of the 20th century, such as Carla Accardi, Antonio Sanfilippo, Achille Perilli, Piero Dorazio, Leoncillo, Ettore Colla, Mario Ceroli, Pino Pascali, Tano Festa, Mario Schifano, Titina Maselli and Mimmo Rotella as well as a group of works by the latest generation of artists. But MACRO is more than an art gallery. Its other important brief is to encourage and support contemporary art and creativity. It offers a heterogeneous programme divided into three areas: the MACROExpo, for contemporary exhibitions; MACROLab, a permanent research project, in which artists, curators, critics, exhibitors and collectors interact with the various phases of contemporary artistic creation; MACROLive, which organises meetings and conferences.

Cecilia in a programme dedicated to Richard Strauss and Maurice Ravel. Bollani, who possesses a light touch and an uncommon fluidity of ideas, has shot to mass popularity after a television show during which he tinkled the ivories and chatted about music. And although in New York he’s been dubbed the Roberto Benigni of jazz, Bollani is a very serious musician who treats music as something to be celebrated with joyful abandon. A restless curiosity is one of his main characteristics and he continues to collaborate with jazz trumpeter Enrico Rava when not leading his Danish trio or Italian quartet. But just as easily he can be found playing the music of the Gershwins with a symphony orchestra, rearranging his own music with a Big Band or interpreting the music of Frank Zappa.

Thanks to him, it appears that 40 million Chinese children have undertaken piano studies; his blog is followed by six million people every day; his name is on headphones and digital Walkmen; he was the first to perform a concert with the YouTube Symphony Orchestra; he has recorded a concert in 3D; and he has launched an app for iPads (Magic Piano) that transforms the most popular digital gadget of our times into a keyboard. But Lang Lang is not only considered an extraordinary musician, an authoritative interpreter of great music and a keyboard virtuoso, he is also seen as an artist capable of interpreting our times, moving the art of music through every medium – from the most common to the web – and reaching the broadest possible audience. Courtesy of S. Cecilia, Lang Lang returns to Rome in three concerts allowing him to demonstrate his gifts as a pianist in recital, as soloist with the Accademia di S. Cecilia Orchestra under the direction of Carlo Rizzari, and in an exciting workshop that involves 100 young piano students who first attend a master class, and then play together with Lang Lang himself.

Of course the move is all about money and the lack of an agreement between the festival management and local authorities, and the feel and the atmosphere of the festival – if not its identity – are destined to change. The programme appears to be as top class as ever with performances and names of the calibre of John Malkovich, Nina Kotova, British violinist and viola player Nigel Kennedy, world-famous soprano Angela Gheorghiu, Croatian pianist Ivo Pogorelich, Ukranian pianist Valentina Lisitsa, Italian violinist Anna Tifu, the mezzosoprano Susan Graham, in one of her rare appearances, violinist Maxim Vengerov, and “the man with the golden flute” – Sir James Galway. As in Cortona, the Florentine edition of the festival

includes events devoted to Tuscan food and wine, with a programme of exclusive lunches held at Palazzo Tornabuoni and at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, featuring a line-up of Italy’s finest chefs. For information and booking www.tuscansunfestival.com.
NAPLES NAPOLI TEATRO FESTIVAL 7-24 June Enhancing its international presence, the festival launches an exciting two-year programme with renowned directors Robert Wilson and Peter Brook, who will each present new works at the 2012 and 2013 festivals. The festival also has a focus on the Argentine theatrical scene featuring actor/director Claudio Tolcachir who performs La Omision de la Familia Coleman, Tercer Cuerpo and El Viento en un violin. Daniel Veronese, figurehead of the Argentine theatre in Buenos Aires during the post-dictatorship, will stage the Italian premiere of Los hijos se han dormido and Espia a una mujer que se mata, and the young director Romina Paula will direct El tiempo todo entero. What’s more, a focus on Israeli dance with the presence of three dynamic and interesting companies provides a feast for dance lovers. The Napoli Teatro Festival Italia includes a week-long coda in September. See also Dance. For booking info www.napoliteatrofestival.it.
RAVENNA RAVENNA FESTIVAL 2012 May-Nov This top class festival celebrating its 23rd edition is longer and more articulated this year. The main section of the festival on the theme Nobilissima visione offers a rich calendar of
opera, concerts, drama and ballet events (9 June-15 July). It builds on the millennium anniversary of the Holy Hermitage of Camaldoli, founded by St Romuald, a Benedictine monk from Ravenna. The festival invites its public to ponder upon the historical significance of western and eastern monasticism, and on its seemingly irrelevant topicality. It also offers an opportunity to tell the story of Ravenna from a different perspective. The music programme includes works that range from the Middle Ages music of the Eloqventia ensemble to the ancient Baltic songs of the Estonian Ensemble Heinavanker, from the chants of the Russian Orthodox Church by the Moscow Male Orthodox Choir to a concert by Uzbek singer Monajat Yulchieva, as well as a programme of traditional Ghazal, or Sufi mystic music. The monasticism of Tibet is also in the spotlight with a full week of meetings, rites, ceremonies and events dedicated to Tibet’s Buddhist tradition. The opera Sancta Susanna by Hindemith evokes the solitude of cloisters, the monks’ ecstatic visions and mystical raptures and trances, and a ballet suite for orchestra, Nobilissima Visione, by Hindemith is the canvas for Micha van Hoecke’s new dance creation. Some big names to look out for include conductors Wayne Marshall, Dennis Russell Davies, Yuri Temirkanov and of course Riccardo Muti. The festival’s contemporary music section features Steve Reich (16 June) who will be present to interact with the audience and talk about his composition aesthetics. Dance fans can look forward to works by Shen Wei, Cedar Lake Contemporary Dance, Hofesh Shechter, and the French hip-hop company Kafig. There is also a section dedicated to Brazilian jazz music and an infinite number of off-shoots which, while managing to stay within the chosen theme, cater for all tastes and inter-

ROME LETTERATURE. FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE DI ROMA 16 May-21 June Rome’s Festival of Literature takes place every year in the magnificent setting provided by the Basilica of Massenzio in the Roman Forum. This extremely popular initiative celebrates the written word with a host of authors who are invited to write a text inspired by the chosen theme, as well as read an excerpt selected from a published work translated into Italian. The 2012 theme is Simple/Complex, and all in all, 17 Italian and international authors, plus a handful of poets will read from their work, sometimes with the aid of professional actors, and always accompanied by live music. Some of the names that will probably appeal in particular to an English-speaking audience are those of Vanessa Diffenbaugh, Jeanette Winterson and Michael Connelly. Entry is free, but tickets must be picked up at least two hours before the event begins at a specially constructed box office in Via dei Fori Imperiali, Clivio di Venere Felice. For information tel. 060608, www.festivaldelleletterature.it. DINAMOFEST 15-23 June The city’s so-called “social centres” have come together with other socially and politically minded realities like “Radio Popolare Roma”, the occupied Teatro Valle, and the Rome Centre for Alternative Studies to create a space in which to discuss current social and political challenges and to try and plant seeds for different models. Dinamofest equals transformation, energy, ideas in evolution. The event is self-financed and independent as are all the participating artists like General Levy & Congo Natty – the king of raga-jungle (15 June); and then the Italian 99 Posse – a unique voice of dissent (16 June); the acclaimed Toys Orchestra with its new album Midnight R-evolution (19 June); from Serbia, Shazalakazoo – the most eccentric duo of Balkan beat (20 June); and last but not least the Italian Banda Bassotti with their new release Siamo Guerriglia (21 June). A film about the bloody repression at the Genoa G8 is followed by a discussion and a series of encounters focus on the “Future of the city of Rome”, “Unemployment”, “Europe and the crisis”, “Eco-compatibility live from the Rio forum”.

SERMONETA (LATINA) FESTIVAL PONTINO DI MUSICA 23 June-28 July In 1963 Lelia Caetani and her husband Hubert Howard founded a chamber music festival in the Castle of Sermoneta in memory of the musician Roffredo Caetani. They invited young musicians from across the globe to come, and participate in a series of workshops and master classes and in the festival itself. Provincial authorities soon acknowledged the importance of the initiative, and took on the responsibility of administrating and organising the increasingly prestigious event. In 1972, the Campus Internazionale di Musica stepped in to become the main promoter of the festival, transforming it into one of the most exciting music realities in the surrounding area. The Castel di Sermoneta remains at the heart of the festival, but nearby historic venues in Fondi, Lenola and Sperlonga are also involved. Over the years the festival has seen the participation of many big names in the music panorama, and it was presided over by composer Goffredo Petrassi until his death in 2003. The initiative represents an important occasion of encounter and exchange for musicians and music scholars. For information Campus Internazionale di Musica, tel. 0773605551, www.campusmusica.it.
SPOLETO SPOLETO FESTIVAL 29 June-15 July This famous arts festival in the beautiful Umbrian town of Spoleto promises to deliver the goods with a rich programme of opera, music, drama, dance and art. Continuing under the direction of Giorgio Ferrara who took over from the Menotti family after the death of festival founder, the composer Gian Carlo Menotti, there is a strong accent on contemporary realities, and this is underscored by the choice of Benjamin Britten’s opera The Turn of the Screw directed by Ferrara himself, and Frank Wedekind’s Lulu, directed by Robert Wilson with music and songs by Lou Reed. Legendary dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov tries his hand at acting in the lead role of In Paris based on a story by Ivan Bunin, and brought to the stage by Dmitry Krimov, the acclaimed avant garde Russian theatre director. For dance fans, there is a choice of three top class companies: the Wiener Staatballett, the Pacific Northwest Ballet and the Semeroper Ballett Dresda. As usual many concerts, both symphonic and chamber, dot the programme and the traditional end-of-festival concert sees Tugan Sokhiev on the podium for the Orchestre National du Capitole du Toulouse.

MUSEO DI ZOOLOGIA WONDERS IN THE WORLD’S SEAS Until 31 July Museo di Zoologia displays the exhibition, Dai più piccoli ai più grandi, of the wonders of the seas. On display are a series of images by the famous marine photographer Alberto Muro Pelliconi, which document the marine world and the submarine life in some unexplored corners of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Visitors are taken through a breathtaking immersion into the depths of the seas to discover the extraordinary inhabitants (large and small) of the coral reefs. In these complex environments Muro Pelliconi immortalises all sorts of species: from hardly visible organisms, such as tiny seahorses swimming among corals, to enormous, wellknown marine animals, such as whale sharks. This courageous underwater photographer brings viewers some of the thrills he experienced during his underwater expeditions. In recent years, thanks to the indispensable help of marine photography, interesting discoveries have been made in the field of biological research. Sala Balena. Museo Civico di Zoologia.

DANCE NAPLES VERTIGO DANCE COMPANY 19-23 June In Null and Birth of the Phoenix, choreography by Noa Wertheim. This is one of Israel’s top contemporary dance troupes. In Birth of the Phoenix the dancers dance with the earth in a dome of bamboo. The work explores the relationship with the environment through the use of an alternative space, so it is performed outdoors on a circle of red earth within the dome, the audience gathered around the dancers who relate to the earth, the sky and each other. Null on the other hand, explores how time controls our lives. For Napoli Teatro Festival Italia. KIBBUTZ CONTEMPORARY DANCE COMPANY 19-23 June In Sacred and Profane and If at all, choreography by Rami Be’er. Be’er’s apocalyptic Sacred and Profane begins with a lone dancer on stage with sand pouring slowly from above, like a giant hourglass running out. Others come and go in the sand until suddenly a giant metal hood appears encompassing a fighter who is out to haunt and hunt in a violent duet. If at all is described as a moving theatrical event in figurative and abstract circles. From the closed form to the open structure exploring the chain of diverse and ever-changing interpersonal relationships. For Napoli Teatro Festival Italia.

JAKOB VON GUNTEN TEATRO INDIA 12-17 June Based on the novel by Robert Walser, project and stage direction by Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli, with Alberto Astorri, Andrea Bosca, Emiliano Masala and Monica Piseddu. The Swiss writer Robert Walser is considered one of the quiet geniuses of 20th-century literature. Largely selftaught and altogether indifferent to worldly success, Walser wrote a range of short stories, essays, as well as four novels, of which Jakob von Gunten is widely recognised as the finest. It’s the story of a young man’s inquisitive and irreverent account of life in what turns out to be the most uncanny of schools. In Italian.

OPERA NOTES
Rome’s Opera stages A Summer’s Night Dream, one of Benjamin Britten’s best works, as its last opera before its summer season opens at the Baths of Caracalla. At La Fenice in Venice one of the most interesting aspects of the new production of Carmen will be its much applauded and original interpretation by the Catalan director Calixto Bieito. And at La Scala in Milan Natalie Dessay will not be returning as expected in the new production of Manon because of illness. She will be substituted by Anna Netrebko for the first two recitals and then by Ermonela Jaho. Il Teatro dell’Opera di Roma presenta un nuovo allestimento di A Midsummer Night’s Dream di Benjamin Britten (16-26 giugno) per la direzione d’orchestra di James Conlon e la regia Paul Curran. È l’ultima opera allestita al chiuso prima dell’apertura della stagione estiva all’aperto alle Terme di Caracalla. È anche una delle opere migliori di Britten, tratta dall’omonima commedia di William Shakespeare, dove il protagonista è il bosco raffigurato da un tema musicale ondeggiante che si ascolta all’alzarsi del sipario e che percorre tutta l’opera. Nel bosco si svolge l’intera vicenda (intricata e misteriosa come la vegetazione di una foresta) che vede incontrarsi e scontrarsi il mondo magico e inquietante delle fate, quello carico di amore tragico come pure felice degli esseri umani, e in fine il mondo dei commedianti che è lì a ricordare che “il mondo intero è un palcoscenico, e gli uomini e le donne, tutti, non sono che attori”. Al Teatro La Fenice di Venezia sarà rappresentata Carmen di Georges Bizet (21 giugno-12 luglio) per la direzione di Omer Meir Wellber e l’interpretazione nei ruoli principali di Beatrice Uria-Monzon (Carmen), Stefano Secco (Don José), Ekaterina Bakanova (Micaela) e Alexander Vinogradov (Escamillo). L’elemento di maggior interesse è però la regia del catalano Calixto Bieito; un allestimento bello e originale, a cui i critici musicali italiani hanno conferito il “Premio Abbiati 2012” con questa motivazione: «Ambientata in una malfamata terra di confine tra Spagna e Africa, la Carmen messa in scena da Bieito con scene di Alfons Flores e costumi di Mercè Paloma al Teatro Massimo di Palermo (coproduzione con i teatri di Barcellona, Torino e Venezia) restituisce al capolavoro di Bizet la sua teatralità ruvida, svelata da istantanee vitali e a volte scioccanti che si susseguono in sintonia con i momenti cruciali della partitura componendo uno strepitoso racconto.» Alla Scala di Milano sarà proposta una nuova produzione di Manon di Jules Massenet (19 giugno–7 luglio) diretta da Fabio Luisi e allestita da Laurent Pelly. Nel ruolo della protagonista doveva esserci Natalie Dessay, che sarebbe tornata a Milano dopo molti anni di assenza; per motivi di salute ha dovuto rinunciare, ma sarà sostituita da Anna Netrebko per le prime due recite (19 e 22 giugno) e da Ermonela Jaho per tutte le altre. Il ruolo del protagonista maschile, il cavaliere Des Grieux, sarà sostenuto da Matthew Polenzani. Paolo Di Nicola
