Globe Theatre - Stagione 2020

The magic of Shakespearean theater is in the heart of Villa Borghese.

For the 17th consecutive year, the doors of the Silvano Toti Globe Theater reopens. The only Elizabethan theater in Italy was born in 2003 thanks to the commitment of Roma Capitale and the Silvano Toti Foundation, from a brilliant intuition of Gigi Proietti, under whose artistic direction the theater has collected an increasing success, reaching about 61,026 spectators in 2019.

The goal is to meet and share an appointment that has become the custom of the summer in Rome, to offer a series of shows consistent with the programming that has distinguished the theater, without neglecting one look at training and teaching.

The big news this year, in fact, is the collaboration with a natural partner for location and excellence, the National Academy of Dramatic Art "Silvio d'Amico.". To offer young actors the opportunity and the emotion to debut in the profession, on a large and real stage, the Globe hosts a new version of The Two Gentlemen of Verona with the music by Oscar winner Nicola Piovani, the original translation by Vincenzo Cerami, and the direction by Andrea Baracco.

The rich programming of this year also includes joyful and aggregating meetings dedicated to children and families under the sign of Shakespeare.

Many debuts, hospitality, musical surprises are on the bill under the sky of Villa Borghese.
