TEATRO REGIO DI PARMA ETHICAL MANIFESTO
First in Italy and Europe, the social commitment project, created together with the Municipality of Parma and “Parma, io ci sto!”, which involves artists in favor of young people, of sensitive, fragile, peripheral communities, to bring them into the heart of the cultural life of the city.
The Teatro Regio di Parma together with the Municipality of Parma, the association “Parma, io ci sto!” and Fondazione Cariparma presents the Ethical Manifesto, a social commitment project proposed to the artists of the Festival Verdi, Verdi Off and the Opera Season which sees the Teatro Regio first in Italy and Europe in recognizing and structuring, in a broad and wide proposal, the need to go beyond its mission, particularly in these times, to embrace young people, the most sensitive, fragile and peripheral communities, to involve them and make them feel at the center, in the heart of the cultural life of the city.
The Ethical Manifesto is the natural synthesis of years of dialogue and continuous listening to local associations and artists, carefully cultivated and promoted by Verdi Off in over 1200 shows, performances, exhibitions and various initiatives that have thrilled and entertained, provoked and moved in the last seven years, since its birth in 2016, when Verdi Off was inaugurated by the Municipality of Parma and by “Parma, io ci sto!”. It is the year-long arc of RegioInsieme initiatives that accompanies the entire Teatro Regio season.
By signing the ethical manifesto, the artists (singers, directors, set designers, conductors, choreographers, …) undertake to donate their time on occasions of meeting and dialogue, making music, theatre, art feel closer to heart of each one.
