It promises to be a season of great events. In September, a production of Gaetano Donizetti's Anna Bolena will be staged at the LAC-Lugano, and in February, it will be performed at theatres in Reggio Emilia, Modena and Piacenza.
Extraordinary concerts will be held in Locarno in honour of the healthcare workers involved during the pandemic and in Bellinzona in aid of the Associazione Mani per il Nepal. The 'Caro Sassone' concert in the auditorium will celebrate the young 'Italian' Handel. The highlight of the season may well be Bach's magnificent 'Passion According to John' at the LAC during Easter. On Good Friday in Bellinzona, the Coro RSI will perform Brahms' 'German Requiem' in a large formation, while a chamber ensemble of Barocchisti will bring the Accademia Filarmonica Romana's concert season at the Teatro Argentina to a close.
