An opera never performed before in Florence. On the podium Lawrence Renes, a great promoter of Adams’ music who has frequently directed and recorded; the direction and the scenes are by Luca Guadagnino, for the first time at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. The Death of Klinghoffer questions, from its very first appearance, the profound complexity of conflicts that are rooted in myth and then burst into history” – comments director Luca Guadagnino, who also signs the sets - “The sublime purity of John Adams’ music and Alice Goodman’s libretto will be my firm guide in staging this immense opera at the Maggio Fiorentino, which I am honored to open in the 2026 season”.

The Death of Klinghoffer

Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre

The future is, in many respects, a great unknown. Will there be peace? Will nature recover? Where and how will our society develop? In the two-part dance performance at the Vidmarhallen, the two choreographers Jiří Pokorný and Ella Rothschild explore this theme, allowing two echoes of a future to resonate through dance in their new creations.

Echoes manifest in the body as traces of movement, as repetitions, distortions, and slowing down. The body becomes a sensor for what is to come, a seismograph of a future that announces itself in gesture, breath, and rhythm.
