Ramificazioni, the section of the Festival that weaves Verdi’s legacy together with the creativity of other composers, takes us, across four concerts, to four different settings evoked by the late nineteenth century: from Wagner, who in Parsifal (1877–1882) draws on Buddhism, to Debussy’s impressionism (Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, 1891–1894; String Quartet in G minor, 1893; La Mer, 1903–1905), through to Dvořák’s Native American folk traditions (String Quartet in F major, Op. 96 ‘American’, 1893), Stockhausen’s Indian philosophy in the historical avant-garde of the 1970s (Mantra, 1970), Henze’s fascination with Japan (Appassionatamente plus, 2003), right through to Lucia Ronchetti’s musical theatre (Zenobia Regina, 2024), which evokes the migration of people and works, both today and in the past.
The programme features the Arturo Toscanini Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ingo Metzmacher, making its debut at the Verdi Festival (Niccolò Paganini Auditorium, 4 October), the Luigi Magnani Quartet (Ridotto del Teatro Regio, 7 October); the Ensemble Filarmonica Toscanini conducted by Susanne Blumenthal (Teatro Farnese, 15 October, in collaboration with the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta), and the pianists Ciro Longobardi and Andrea Rebaudengo (Auditorium del Carmine, 22 October).

The Teatro Regio in Parma is fully accessible. From the entrance, a straight, level path leads directly to the stalls, where four seats are reserved for wheelchair users. A seat is reserved for a companion in the row adjacent to each seat designated for disabled spectators. The companion must remain present throughout the entire visit to the theatre if the spectator is unable to move independently.
Spectators with temporary mobility impairments who hold a ticket or season ticket of any category (stalls, box, gallery) must notify the Box Office in good time; the Box Office reserves the right to change seat allocations where necessary in accordance with safety regulations. The Theatre also reserves the right to alter the number of available seats for technical or staging requirements.
Please also note that the layout of the emergency exits does not allow spectators entering the theatre in a wheelchair to sit down independently in a seat; therefore, to ensure they can leave the building as quickly as possible, such spectators are required to remain seated in their wheelchair for the entire duration of the performance. Similarly, spectators using mobility aids must take their seats in the reserved areas, which allow the aid to be stored nearby for rapid use in the event of an emergency. To use these seats, a prior request must be made by email to the Box Office (biglietteria@teatroregioparma.it), which will process the request and respond by allocating the most suitable seat in accordance with safety regulations and subject to availability. A standard ticket purchased by means other than those indicated above does not guarantee access to the Theatre for people using wheelchairs or mobility aids.
