Dance steps in the rose garden |
Parchi del Roseto Genoa Italy |
The lights are low; it is an evening in early summer in the magical setting of the Nervi rose garden. The dream has begun. Since it was first staged in 1955, inspired by an idea of Marco Porcile's, this show has gained a reputation as being unmissable. For many years it has acted as a forum for new talented artists, who have subsequently found fame, as well as for already established performers making their debut in Italy. The show is another jewel in Nervi's splendid crown, which endows the festival with its unique atmosphere, original staging and the exclusive 'ambience' of its most beautiful gardens. There have been some problems in the past with the threat of Giove Pluvio's unhappy murmurings about the project, but these have been laid to rest since an alternative venue, the Carlo Felice theatre was made available. The programme includes modern and classical ballets: the only thing left to do is choose which one. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bright lights |
At Mura Nuove Genoa, Genoa 16136 Italy |
Strectching almost 13km from Laterna to Carignano, most of the New City Walls of Genoa (Mura Nuove) built between 1626 and 1633 can still be seen today. At their highest point still stands Forte Sperone, once a fortified city and now used for summer-time spectacles. It is here that the Tosse Theater organizes a unique variety of shows that are not to be missed. Noteable past perforamances include A Midsummer Night's Dream and Bocaccio's Decameron.

The new theatre |
Piazza Modena, 3 Genoa 16149 Italy +39 10 659 2220 http://www.archivolto.it |
This constantly changing theatre is always on the lookout for a fantasy drama, something new, something out of the ordinary, not contenting itself with the usual repertory, even coming up with new themes, styles and authors itself. This theatre loves the surreal, taking literature, cinematographic editing conventions and the virtuosity of the circus as its starting point. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Genoan theatre |
Via E. F. Duca d'Aosta Genoa 16129 Italy +39 10 534 2200 |
Founded in 1951, the Genoese Theatre is considered to be one of the most important public theatres in Italy. Directed since 1955 by Ivo Chiesa, it often hosts key national and international events. Its institutional headquarters are in the Corte Theatre, which was updated in Spring 1991. The theatre seats 1,040, and also has offices, rehearsal rooms, a library, meeting places and more on the same premises. This prose theatre can only be rivalled by a couple of places in Italy, as it has wonderful dimensions, technology and a great structure. Review © 2007, Wcities |
