“INSIDE LE CARNAVAL, MASCARADE ROYALE”
From 26 January to 13 February 2026, every morning from 10 a.m. to
12 noon, except Saturdays and Sundays
From reading to theatrical action
A recited reading and a practical theater workshop to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Opera and its emotional rooms. The project, designed for primary and secondary school children, includes a series of interpreted reading meetings followed by a practical theater workshop, linked to the text read. An exciting journey, based on a teaching method that alternates playful moments of reading, listening, observation and theatrical action. The proposed reading will be the plot of an Opera, adapted for the participating children and young people. An illustrated book and stage photographs will accompany the reading, projected to facilitate
the understanding of the story. After the recited reading, the theatrical workshop will follow, dedicated to the characters, scenes and atmospheres of the opera. The children will be divided into groups and scenes: each group will have a role to play and will move around the stage space, exploring the emotional dimension of the Opera. After a dialogue and discussion on the story, starting from the impressions and opinions of the participants, the characters to work on will be chosen. The children will reflect on their characters and the places where they live, getting involved in theatrical scenes and actions, in moments of acting and role-playing. Thus they will enter the story read, the images seen and their own creative imagination. From there a new original story will inevitably be born, generated by the plot of the Opera: theirs.
