Carlo Fuortes is the new superintendent of the Florentine Maggio Musical Foundation. He is aiming for "a great national and international relaunch" to be achieved through a multi-year plan.
The 86th Festival will stage the program developed by extraordinary commissioner Onofrio Cutaia. May will be "open to all and all collaborations", as demonstrated by the presence in the theater of the étoile Roberto Bolle, protagonist of the show 'Viva la Danza' The mayor of Florence and president of the Opera Foundation Dario Nardella said he was "really happy because the Maggio can really be reborn" The programming will continue until June 13 with three operas, Turandot, Jeanne Dark, Tosca, a ballet and symphony concerts directed by Daniele Gatti, Myung-Whun Chung, Riccardo Muti and Zubin Mehta, who jokingly said: "You are my sixteenth superintendent" to May.
