Masterclass Roberta Torre
Casa del Cinema (Corso Umberto n. 61), from Thursday 8 to Saturday 10 October 2026
Taormina Arte intends to return to major theatrical productions. And these days of meetings with director Roberta Torre are part of the future planning process.
We want to create a group of actors, artists, and writers. We want to understand if it’s possible to build a working group dedicated to theatrical projects that will bring a new identity to the festival.
Three days of workshops, with young actors, professionals, and anyone who wants to listen and talk about theater, explore themes proposed by the director, and begin a journey of understanding and planning.

La Cena
Palazzo Corvaja, Thursday 3rd October 2026 @ 9:00pm
By Giuseppe Manfridi
Directed by Walter Manfrè
Starring Andrea Tidona, Chiara Condrò, Stefano Skalkotos, Giulio Pampiglione
If there’s a show that puts the spectator on stage, it’s this one: a perfect theatrical mechanism.
Only 40 spectators are seated at the table with the host. Everything is ready for dinner, but the plot twists leave the spectator immobile, making them become part of a story.
Walter Manfrè’s historic direction, to whom Taormina Arte pays homage, creates a perfect system through which this show continues to recur over time.
A masterpiece but also a truly unique theatrical experience, not to be missed. Immerse yourself in a story not as a spectator but as a protagonist, with that strange feeling of having arrived in the midst of a family drama and having no say in the matter.
Upon entering the theater, the butler (Giulio Pampiglione) will seat you around a beautifully laid table, at the head of which sits the host (Andrea Tidona), ready to welcome his daughter (Chiara Condrò) after five long years to meet her new partner (Stefano Skalkotos).
From this moment on the audience becomes a real guest at the long-desired reunion of a father and his daughter.

October 4, 2026 – La Bohème
I T A L I A N O P E R A S E L E C T I O N
A selection of arias from
LA BOHÈME
by Giacomo Puccini
Teatro Nazarena (via Fontana Vecchia, 3), Sunday 4th October 2026 @9:15pm
A free drink during intermission on theater’s terrace is included
Rather than focusing on spectacle, La Bohème reveals itself through intimacy: small gestures, unspoken feelings, and music that mirrors the rhythm of real life. Puccini’s score flows with natural warmth, shifting effortlessly between lightness and melancholy, joy and quiet sorrow. The result is an opera that feels immediate and profoundly human, even to first-time listeners.
In the refined and close setting of Teatro Nazarena, the audience is invited to share the emotional space of the characters, experiencing their hopes, friendships, and inevitable farewells at close range. This proximity enhances the emotional clarity of the music, allowing Puccini’s melodies to unfold with sincerity and depth.

Mimì: Silvia Di Falco

Interference
Junior Ballet
National Premiere
Ancient Theatre, Thursday 24 September 2026 @ 9:00pm
Only 100 – Only for 100 spectators
Choreography: Alessandra Scalambrino
Live music: by and with Puccio Castrogiovanni
Dancers: Desy Falletta, Rachele Masciocchi, Giuseppe Sgroppo, Alessandro Bonacina.
Project by DT Junior danza
A project created specifically to make the audience part of the show. “Only 100” allows only 100 spectators to enter.
With the distance between the stalls and the stage abolished, the audience sits directly on the stage, right next to the dancers, eliminating any safety distance. INTERFERENCE is not a choreography to be observed, but a vibration to be welcomed.
An invitation to discover how the body, deprived of speech, can become a naked witness. It is a close encounter in which silence thickens and proximity takes your breath away, based on a single premise: without the presence of the spectator, that body has nothing to say.
The original soundtrack, performed live, engages in real-time with this tension, amplifying the pulse and vulnerability of the shared space.
