The masterpiece by Giuseppe Verdi about the Ethiopian princess enslaved in Egypt, with transparencies, unprecedented light effects, and rich symbolism suspended between Ancient Egypt and contemporary art, will be performed for 5 shows, from August 12 to September 8, 2027. A multifaceted and modern staging, capable of speaking to everyone, balancing classic Egyptian iconography with the stylistic innovations of Paco Rabanne, Roberto Capucci, and Damien Hirst.
