ABOUT
Musica Giuseppe Verdi
Alessandro Baricco will guide the audience through a fresh and surprising reinterpretation of Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata with Una Traviata da cortile, a performance combining storytelling and live music that takes the opera out of the theatre to transform it into a collective, immersive and accessible experience. Designed for open spaces and courtyards, the production deliberately breaks with traditional operatic conventions: there is no longer any separation between stage and audience, and the audience becomes an integral part of the story. Spectators move within the action, toasting and singing along with the performers, experiencing Violetta’s story as if at a village festival, amidst music, storytelling and collective participation.
At the heart of the show remain the crucial moments in the story of Violetta Valéry: four scenes spanning the protagonist’s love, conflict, humiliation and, finally, death. Between these musical scenes, Baricco intervenes with his narration, restoring the human and contemporary power of the story.

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.
