Gianluigi Gelmetti - Teatro Verdi Trieste
The Giuseppe Verdi di Trieste Opera House “Trieste has a rude charm. If you like it, it’s like a tough and greedy kid, with blue eyes and hands too big for offering a flower”. This is how the world renowned poet Umberto Saba describes Trieste, always a crossroads of Italian and Central European culture. Developed under Maria Theresa of Austria’s reign, the city has been able to attract people from different cultures, religions and traditions creating a cosmopolitanism that still lies in the dialect, in places of worship and in the Triestine surnames. Trieste is also the city of Italo Svevo, James Joyce, Umberto Saba and, in the 1900s, was the birthplace of several famous literary figures. Now Trieste has an eye to the future, with important challenges ahead and opportunities to start a new path of growth, developing strategic partnerships. Culture is a very important driver of growth that reflects the international vocation of our city. The Verdi Theatre of Trieste is an ambassador of this culture as a common good and an element of universal growth. What a privilege to be here. The opening of a new theatre is always to be welcomed with deep enthusiasm, as a tangible expression of optimism. A community with an open theatre is richer, livelier and more meaningful. Our theatre has a long history of excellence and each professional in our team is honoured to participate in this unique event. We hope that the beauty of music will help you discover more about Trieste and our enchanting region: we trust that culture can be a solid bridge towards mutual exchange and understanding. This is, indeed, a special event - the start of a new story. We are ready to be filled with wonder and show our desire to go one step further in our art. We wish to offer our deepest commitment to opera - which is music, aesthetics and style and look forward to combining masterful performance with genuine inspiration.
