Parlano di noi ✨

Le parole di The Weekend Magazine raccontano ciò che Villa Belcanto sta per diventare: un respiro di scena in cui l’energia della produzione si intreccia alla tradizione, incontrando uno sguardo contemporaneo e un’opera sempre più vicina al pubblico.

The Weekend Magazine ha attraversato in anteprima l’universo immaginato da Federico Grazzini, prima che il sipario si sollevi, restituendone un racconto luminoso, quasi sospeso.

Ora le luci stanno per accendersi ✨ vi aspettiamo.

Speaking about us ✨

The words of The Weekend Magazine capture what Villa Belcanto is about to become: a stage breath in which the energy of the production intertwines with tradition, meeting a contemporary vision and an opera ever closer to its audience.

The Weekend Magazine has had an early glimpse into the universe imagined by Federico Grazzini, before the curtain rises, offering a luminous, almost suspended narrative.

Now the stage lights are about to come on ✨ we look forward to welcoming you.

In bocca al lupo to Floriana Cicio as Violetta in Una Traviata da cortile at Teatro Regio di Parma! ✨

This immersive reimagining of Verdi’s masterpiece transforms Verdi’s La traviata into a living, collective experience where audience and performers share the same space through music, storytelling and celebration, conceived by Alessandro Baricco.

A member of Mascarade Opera 2022/2024, Floriana has since continued to shine in an exciting range of roles across the operatic repertoire, including Eugenia in B. Galuppi’s Il Filosofo di Campagna at the Winter Theater in Sochi, Frasquita in Bizet’s Carmen at Teatro Politeama in Lecce, Rita in Donizetti’s Rita at the 2024 Ticino Music Festival in Lugano, and Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Teatro “G. Puccini” in Merano, as well as concert appearances with the Cameristi del Teatro alla Scala. She later performed in productions at Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo, including Margherita in Alfredo il grande (Donizetti) and Tavecchi in Il piccolo compositore di musica (Mayr). Earlier in her career she appeared as Zerlina in Mozart’s Don Giovanni in Bologna and Carpi, Clorinda in Rossini’s La Cenerentola in Modena, and in world premieres such as I Kattivissimi (S. Passantino) in Trapani and La Notte di Natale (A. Cara) in Savona and Modena. In 2024 she won First Prize at the 37th “Gaetano Zinetti” International Competition in Sanguinetto, and in 2023 received Second Prize at the “Maria Caniglia” International Competition in Sulmona.

Only a little time left until Showcase 2026 ✨

Do you remember last year’s set design at Teatro della Pergola in Florence?
This year the space changes, but the emotion remains the same. The set design is once again by Anna Bonomelli.

Set in a luxury clinic suspended between the 1920s and 1940s, Villa Belcanto transforms a place of memory: no longer a private, idealised space, but a living community where youth, maturity and old age coexist and reflect one another.

At the moment, the set is taking shape, coming alive with detail, light and atmosphere. It will be one of the visual centres of this new production, at Teatro Regio di Parma, on Saturday 30 May.

Secure your place.

A first look into Villa Belcanto, Mascarade Opera Showcase 2026 ✨

Rehearsals are underway in Florence: the world of Villa Belcanto is already coming to life!

Set in a luxury clinic between the 1920s and 1940s, memory, desire and control collide in a story that is as intimate as it is unsettling.

Raw. Intense. Alive in rehearsal.
