Alahor In Granata – Teatro Sociale, Genoa

About this event

Part of Donizetti Opera 2026, this production by Fondazione Teatro Donizetti presents Gaetano Donizetti’s Alahor in Granata in a historically informed staging, using newly identified autograph materials. The score is heard in the new critical edition edited by Edoardo Cavalli, prepared after the discovery in 2023 of the autograph at the Conservatorio “A. Scarlatti” in Palermo. Musical direction is by Chiara Cattani and stage direction by Benedetto Sicca. The staging at Teatro Sociale in Bergamo aligns with the festival’s mission to spotlight lesser-known Donizetti works from the later 1820s. The concept connects rigorous editorial scholarship with specialist musical leadership and a contemporary stage realization. Specific details on set, costume, or lighting designs were not provided in the consulted event pages.
