The Arena Flegrea of the Mostra d'Oltremare and the Teatro San Carlo in Naples have always worked in synergy and, after several years, the Massimo Napoletano returns with its opera and symphonic programming to this location, renovated a few years ago.
In fact, in September 2017 , the Etes Arena Flegrea will enrich its artistic offering with two important works staged by the San Carlo , as part of the Noisy Naples Festival . From September 15 to 17 , it will be the turn of Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville , while on September 23 and 24 , the ballet Cenerentola, choreographed by Giuseppe Picone, will be performed.
As mentioned, this is a return because the San Carlo, except for a few years of hiatus, has always used the Arena for its performances. In fact, since its inauguration in 1952, this space has been the theatre's summer home . Since 2001, after further renovations, it has welcomed internationally renowned artists such as Diana Krall , Robert Plant , and B.B. King, and has been the setting for famous operas. It has thus confirmed its role as a stage for rock music and, this year, it will once again be the venue for opera.
With this program classical music will be usable to an even larger number of people and not just to a more niche audience. The Arena is once again "a theater of masses for masses".
The Arena also has one scheduled "Educational season" for children, the public of tomorrow.
The Barber of Seville
The production will be the historic 1999 version , directed by Filippo Crivelli and revived by Riccardo Canessa, who had already staged it a few years earlier to great acclaim. It will be a very "light" version of The Barber of Seville, with scenes that are not realistic but pictorially evocative , and a comical, yet not grotesque, performance. The story is the same one composed in 1816 by Rossini with a libretto by Cesare Sterbini based on a play by Beaumarchais: a love story involving the alliance between a Count and a Barber and the juxtaposition of youthful freshness and the cynicism of his elders . It will explore man's inadequacy in the face of life's vicissitudes.

Cinderella
Following the success of the production at the San Carlo , the ballet Cinderella, based on Perrault's classic tale, will be performed at the Arena Flegrea . The music is by Sergei Prokofiev , and the dancers of the San Carlo Ballet will perform, along with two prominent St. Petersburg stars from the Mariinsky Theatre. The Russian composer created music inspired by classical music, and each character is characterized by musical tempos that reflect their experiences.
