Is it possible to combine the three titles defined as "the popular Verdi trilogy" with a trait d union that crosses them and with an overall directorial and dramaturgical proposal? Francesco Micheli, maestro Fabio Luisi and Maggio bet us, convinced that the "trilogy" gives us Giuseppe Verdi as a Father of the Fatherland. "That thread that unites them passes and weaves the textures taking the colors of our flag and the" trilogy "becomes a polyptych in strong colors that says that we are what we should be, or rather what we would like to be.
Traviata is white because it is also the color of the camellia, but above all because Violetta aspires to a purity and a status that the public easily recognizes, and much more, compared to the other characters. (Francesco Micheli, director)
