Teatro Colosseo

The show that closes (temporarily?) Tullio Solenghi's Govi ​​trilogy, following the huge successes of I manezzi and Pignasecca e Pignaverde . On stage, a large and refined cast, with Mauro Pirovano in the spotlight. The protagonist is Giovanni Bevilacqua, an old sea dog forced to navigate dishonesty and corruption, until an illness becomes the turning point for a possible redemption. But the finale still holds a few surprises. Solenghi, actor and director, reunites with the company with which he created this stage adventure, starting with Roberto Alinghieri, on stage and alongside him as assistant director, to bring back to Italian audiences the theatrical genius of the "beard" Gilberto Govi, rigorously in a black and white of times past.

A theatrical performance that illuminates the extreme contrasts of the Italian 1970s: the terror of massacres and armed groups on the one hand, and the battles for civil rights and social reform on the other. Produced by Be Water Live with Chora and Will, written by Mario Calabresi, Benedetta Tobagi, and Sara Poma, with an original contribution by Marco Damilano, and directed by Bruno Fornasari, it combines narration, images, and period music to relive a decisive decade. Mario Calabresi, an unwilling protagonist of that story, journalist, writer, and editorial director of Chora/Will, has chronicled the 1970s in books such as "Spingendo la notte più in là" and "Quello che non ti dicono sulla storia di Carlo Saronio." Benedetta Tobagi, writer and historian, also experienced the 1970s firsthand and has written about them: "Piazza Fontana, il processo impossibile" and the recent "Covando un mondo nuovo" with Paola Agosti.

A live performance conceived as a scenic journey, in which music, words, and theatricality blend into an emotional tale of subtle tensions, sudden orchestral openings, and moments of intense intimacy. Each song thus becomes a narrative microcosm, redesigned with new arrangements and interpreted to highlight Michele's sensitivity, while the setlist showcases the most significant moments in his artistic career: from " Il diario degli errori" to the "Commedia Musicale" project, to the single "Io tu lei lui," all presented in a theatrical dimension suspended between singer-songwriter and contemporary pop. Michele's artistic present also fits into this scenic framework: 2026 is the year of his return to the Sanremo Festival with " Prima o poi" and his arrival in film with "Roma Elastica" by Bertrand Mandico, alongside Marion Cotillard and Noémie Merlant, a title announced as a selection at the Cannes Film Festival, in addition to the Mediastars Award won for the charity commercial " Lo ricordo io per te .

The theatrical dimension thus becomes the ideal space to deepen the listening experience and enhance direct dialogue with the audience. This concert spans her repertoire, from her most beloved songs to her most recent releases, combining pop elegance, sonic exploration, and intense interpretation, intimate and sophisticated, to convey to the audience the full expressive power of an ever-evolving artist.

Michele Zarrillo returns to the Teatro Colosseo for the sixth time with the 1996-2026 tour, "L'elefante e la farfalla ," a theatrical live performance celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the Sanremo classic, an emotional journey through timeless classics and recent gems. Written with Vincenzo Incenzo and released in 1996, " L'elefante e la farfalla" is a song that unites generations, and in this concert, Zarrillo, a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist (vocals, piano, guitars), retraces a unique career with two hours of rich repertoire, accompanied by elite musicians.

The Teatro Colosseo welcomes Vinicio Capossela with his new ballad opera for voices and music, freely drawn from the life of Renato Striglia, Capossela's longtime friend, manager, and inspiration, and from the works of Dylan Thomas. At the center is a man lying in an empty bathtub, simultaneously Striglia, Captain Cat, and the Welsh poet himself, surrounded by the ghosts of a seaside village. Fifteen previously unreleased songs, written by Capossela, give voice to characters, obsessions, and memories that surface like radio waves, in a show that captures the blindness of radio and transforms it into a theatrical experience: long moments of darkness in the theater, voices emerging from the darkness, sounds that guide the imagination more than images. On stage with Capossela is Pierpaolo Capovilla: their shared presence also makes this work a tale of old-fashioned male friendship, steeped in rock 'n' roll, an epic of failure, and the spirit of mutiny.
