Estasi at the Teatro Regio in Turin
Date of the event:
«Estasi» is the concert that, on 12 November 2026 at 8pm, opens the 2026/2027 Concert Season of the Teatro Regio in Turin. Music director Andrea Battistoni takes the podium of the Teatro Regio Orchestra, joined by mezzo-soprano Antoinette Dennefeld as soloist. The programme brings together music by Camille Saint-Saëns, Hector Berlioz, Manuel de Falla and Maurice Ravel, around the theme of the femme fatale [1].
The opening concert's programme
The concert ties in with the Opera Season, titled Fatale: from Saint-Saëns's Dalila to the Cleopatra evoked by Berlioz, from the miller's wife in Manuel de Falla's El sombrero de tres picos to the gypsy heroine of Ravel's Boléro. The musical journey thus traces the figure of the seductive and dangerous woman, capable of enchanting and destroying, culminating in the sensual force of Ravel's dance [1].
The 2026/2027 Concert Season
The announcement, released by the Teatro Regio on 3 November 2026, concerns the whole Concert Season, made up of eight appointments running until 17 May 2027. The season features the Teatro Regio Orchestra, joined in one programme by the Chorus and the Children's Chorus, and the Filarmonica Trt [1].
After «Estasi», the season continues on 18 January 2027 with «Fusioni», a Filarmonica Trt project combining electronic music and orchestra with Davide "Boosta" Dileo and orchestration by Stefano Cabrera. On 15 February pianist Grigory Sokolov gives the recital «Assoluto», while on 22 February Emmanuel Tjeknavorian conducts «Orizzonti», with music by Loris Tjeknavorian, Shostakovich and Borodin [1].
On 12 March comes «Gloria», with Battistoni leading the Teatro Regio Orchestra and Chorus and the Children's Chorus in music by Leone Sinigaglia and Mascagni's Messa di Gloria, with soloists Dmitry Korchak and Franco Vassallo. On 12 April Ariane Matiakh makes her debut at the Regio with «Iride», a programme of works by Koechlin, Roussel, Fauré and Ravel. On 28 April Nicolò Umberto Foron conducts «Destino», with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 and Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky, together with the Teatro Regio Chorus and mezzo-soprano Alisa Kolosova. The season closes on 17 May 2027 with «Radici», conducted by Felix Mildenberger, principal guest conductor of the Filarmonica Trt [1].
Subscriptions to the seven concerts are available to the public, offering savings of up to 30% compared with buying single tickets, in addition to the discounts confirmed for under-30s [1].
