Performer: Antonio Garès

Huge de Ana's staging is carefully crafted but feels dramaturgically outdated as the Teatro di San Carlo heads into the twilight of sovrintendente Stéphane Lissner’s final season. 

In the Italian version of Verdi's French grand opéra, Emma Dante updates the action from 1282 to the organised crime of the Sicilian Mafia. 

The ROF presents a new, cheeky production of Adelaide, by Arnaud Bernard, based on a unoriginal but very well executed “meta-theatrical” take, with an exemplary cast.
