The story begins during the wedding anniversary party of the city’s deputy mayor, attended by four married couples. The evening, however, takes an unexpected turn when the guests find themselves involved in the attempted murder of their illustrious host.

End: 23:00 Teatro Il Maggiore 23 April at 21:00 CAPITOL'HO Ale & Franz Artistic project by Paolo Scotti Fondazione Il Maggiore Verbania All the shows of the season on the website www.ilmaggioreverbania.it THE SHOW Ale and Franz, the quintessential Italian comic duo, return to the theater with a new show that celebrates thirty years of working together. Capitol'ho pairs classic pieces from their repertoire with more recent material, in a continuous back-and-forth between yesterday and tomorrow that becomes a mirror of our habits, our fears and everyone's small, everyday embarrassments. The audience does not just watch: it participates, breathes, reacts, always remaining at the center of the stage. Ale and Franz do not explain life: they observe it, imitate it, take it apart piece by piece, to give it back to us a little crooked, a little clearer and decidedly funnier. Because theater, as they themselves remind us, is not meant to change the world — but it helps immensely to understand it. ARTISTIC DATA With Ale and Franz Written

The Corsa dei Buoi of Caresana is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted events in Piedmont, an event that combines faith, tradition and competition in honor of San Giorgio. Its origins are lost in the centuries and, according to some sources, date back to 1236, linked to a vow made by the community to overcome an epidemic. Since then, it has been held every year without interruption on the Sunday after 23 April, the feast of the Saint. The celebration begins with a solemn and engaging atmosphere: on the evening before the race there is the procession with the statue of San Giorgio, followed by the draw for the starting order and moments of conviviality such as the charity cake table. Sunday morning is marked by age-old rites and traditions, with the marching band bringing cheer and the Holy Mass, during which the bread is blessed, symbol of sharing and devotion. The highlight is the Corsa dei Buoi, which starts at noon along the town’s main street. The oxen, adorned with garlands and decorated yokes, are lined up at the start after three votive laps around the church. With the shot signaling the start of the race, the animals set off along the route, evoking

Location: Teatro Regio Torino. Organizer: Teatro Regio Torino | 28 April 2027 Destiny Nicolò Umberto Foron For Tchaikovsky destiny is a blind and oppressive force, evoked by the dark horn fanfare that opens his Symphony no. 4 ; in Debussy and Chausson it instead takes on the more elusive features of dream and memory, from the sensual suspension of the Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune to the aching nostalgia of the Poème de l’amour et de la mer . A journey that intertwines the light of French impressionism with the pathos of Russian symphonism, led by the baton of Nicolò Umberto Foron, a young musician already enjoying a dazzling career. Mezzo-soprano Alisa Kolosova, a refined performer of great expressive intensity, lends her voice to Chausson’s verses taken from the poetry of Maurice Bouchor.

I am a storyteller: this epic tale is for me like a gallop on horseback. La chimera is a perfect story for a storyteller: vivid characters, each one a world, with its own sound, rhythm, voice. The work is a symphony, it speaks to us of a Po Valley landscape and of a protagonist, Antonia, a young woman with a free gaze and outside every scheme. The extraordinariness of this tale is to have the power to renew itself continuously, to take on new life in light of what happens from time to time in the present: this is what happens for those masterpieces we call "classics". Today the tragic perspective of a world opens before us where women could have even fewer chances to make a difference, to bring the novelty of a feminine energy capable of connecting rather than dividing, to have v

The Festa del Fritto Misto alla Piemontese in Caluso is a food event that celebrates one of the most iconic dishes of Piedmontese culinary tradition. It is a rich and varied dish, known for its combination of sweet and savory ingredients, all rigorously breaded and fried to perfection. Among the most typical and appreciated pieces that can be enjoyed during the festival are veal slices, sausage, fried amaretti, sweet semolina, liver and brains, seasonal vegetables. During the event, the mixed fry is accompanied by a selection of typical appetizers, the ever-present agnolotti, artisanal desserts and a wide choice of local wines, offering a true food and wine journey to discover the excellences of the area. Caluso is a village renowned for the production of Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG. This white wine, aromatic and fresh, pairs perfectly with Piedmontese traditional dishes. The town offers evocative views, with its neat vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see and a rich cultural heritage linked to viticulture and Savoy history.

In the heart of Poirino, a town located between the Turin hills and the Asti area, a historic event dedicated to two local gastronomic excellences takes place: the Asparago di Santena and the Tinca Gobba Dorata del Pianalto. This event has its roots in the early postwar years, when the agricultural community of the area decided to promote these typical products with a fair that over time has become an unmissable appointment for residents and visitors. The Asparago di Santena is a symbol of the clayey “Terre rosse” of the Pianalto, where it has been cultivated for over a century, thanks to a particularly favorable climate and soil. The Tinca Gobba Dorata, on the other hand, stands out for its characteristic color and for the hump that makes it unique. This freshwater fish, raised in the traditional “peschére” scattered across the Poirino landscape, is protected by the DOP mark, representing an excellence recognized at national level. During the fair, visitors can taste local specialties based on asparagus and tench in the town’s restaurants and at the food stalls. Among the most appreciated recipes are fried tench accompanied by battered asparagus and "},{

Location: Auditorium Giovanni Agnelli. Address: Via Nizza 280 With more than forty years of artistic experience behind him, Marc Minkowski returns to the Lingotto with his ensemble Les Musiciens du Louvre to conclude the 2026-2027 Season of Lingotto Musica with the “springtime” freshness of Mendelssohn’s Symphonies. Founded in 1982 with the intention of bringing the French Baroque repertoire to light on period instruments, over the decades the ensemble has progressively expanded its repertoire to embrace Classicism and Romanticism, without ever abandoning the philological rigor that sets it apart. The protagonist of the evening is Mendelssohn, with the twin Symphonies Scottish and Italian, both born from the young Mendelssohn’s journeys across Europe: these are two sound watercolors of extraordinary freshness, capable of evoking landscapes, atmospheres and colors with the spirit of romantic wonder typical of the German composer.

Together with the festivities, the Canestrello festival of Vaie has since May 2023 opened “Gusto Valsusa”, the large review created by the Unione Montana to promote local typical products, which will have more than 20 events on the calendar. For numerous editions, the Canestrello festival has flooded the town’s streets with that sweet lemon aroma coming out of homes and workshops, whetting the appetite for that typical flavor that only this biscuit can give. Canestrello is in fact a biscuit of probable medieval origin, still prepared today in families for carnival and patron saint festivals. Its characteristic grid design comes from the “ferro” mold, that is, a tongs-like tool that is heated over an open flame. Between the two halves, small balls of dough are placed whose recipe, secret for every Vaie family, calls for a skillful dose of simple ingredients: flour, sugar, butter and eggs, to which the aroma of lemon zest is added.

The Corsa dei Buoi takes place every year on the occasion of the Patron Saint Festival of San Vittore of Asigliano Vercellese: an ancient tradition that combines faith, history and peasant culture. This event has its roots in 1436, when, according to legend, the patron saint San Vittore freed the town from a plague epidemic. Since then, the community has kept alive the vow made to the saint through religious celebrations and a race that has origins even further back in time. According to tradition, the oxen were used to bring votive offerings to the patron saint, a gesture of faith that, over time, became a competition with strong folkloric value. Today, this event represents an important symbol of devotion and belonging for the community of Asigliano Vercellese and the surrounding towns and even today the heart of the celebration is the race. On the eve of the race, the public auction for the allocation of the carts is held, a ritual full of emotion, in which participants make grain offers to win a place in the competition, often out of personal devotion. The day of the feast opens with the solemn mass and the procession with the statue of San

End: 23:00 “In this ballet entitled Apparizioni I would like to stimulate the imagination of the spectators. This evening is a reflection on what appears and disappears before our eyes in concrete or impalpable form. Six different dance scenes on the perception of the human soul with respect to events, people, dreams and thoughts that pervade our lives, with one consideration: what is the limit between reality and unreality? On this occasion I wanted a dance without narration, but deeply imbued with meanings, partly dark and mysterious, but perhaps, precisely for this reason, capable of stimulating different reflections and emotions in the spectators”

In the heart of Piedmont, the village of Genola proudly preserves a confectionery tradition with roots in centuries past: the making of the Quaquare, crumbly and fragrant biscuits that represent the gastronomic soul of the town. These sweets, with their characteristic heart or horseshoe shape, owe their name to the dialect term “quaquara”, meaning “cockchafer”, the beetle whose outline resembles that of the biscuits. Every year, in the month of May, at the same time as the patron saint festival of San Marziano, Genola celebrates the Sagra delle Quaquare, an event that involves the entire community. During this period, local families devote themselves with passion to preparing the dough, following secret recipes handed down from generation to generation. The main ingredients are simple and genuine: flour, butter, sugar, eggs and lemon zest, with the addition, in some variations, of almonds or finely chopped peach stones, which give the biscuits a unique aroma. The culminating moment of the festival is the baking of the Quaquare in the municipal oven, a place symbol of sharing and community. Managed by volunteers, the oven opens its doors

Location: Teatro Regio Torino. Organizer: Teatro Regio Torino Carmen | Georges Bizet We have all encountered Carmen. It is the name of that force that overturns perfectly ordered plans, rules, habits; that force that, in eros, has irresistible power and absolute freedom. «Free was she born and free shall she die», says the woman who embodies it in this opera. What happens when fate pushes her in front of a brigadier who seems her exact opposite, the ideal type of the “good boy”? Under the Spanish sky unfolds a universal story, a blinding conflict between those passions that we see come to life daily — and sometimes tragically — before our eyes. Giving them expression is the music of Georges Bizet, charged with energy like a spring ready to snap. Greeted coolly at the first performances in 1875, Carmen soon enjoyed enormous popular success and the admiration of composers such as Brahms, Čajkovskij and Wagner — and of Nietzsche, who devoted revealing pages to it after hearing it in 1888 in Turin. In Turin it returns with a first-rate cast, which sees the debut at the Regio of Maria Kataeva as Carmen, and many welcome returns: Piero P

Location: Cossano Belbo In the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe, Cossano Belbo comes alive with the Sagra degli "IN", an event that turns a simple final sound into an opportunity to celebrate local identity. Born in 1992 from the creative intuition of Mauro Noè, this event plays with irony and tradition, bringing together under a single ending local agri-food products, artists from the community such as the painter Francesco Bo known as Cichinin, and even words from the Piedmontese dialect such as "Mulin", in reference to the precious flour of the Mulino Marino ground with stone. The festival turns into a gastronomic route where each stall tells a piece of local history through authentic Piedmontese specialties, prepared according to handed-down recipes and paired with the wines of the surrounding hills. Between tastings of typical dishes and genuine ingredients, visitors will discover how creativity and tradition can dance together, turning gastronomy into a lively tale of the territory. The event is not only a culinary celebration: music, entertainment and moments of conviviality enliven the village creating a welcoming and festive atmosphere. It is the occas

Location: Santena When May arrives in the countryside of Piedmont, just a few steps from Turin, one of the most elegant protagonists of the Italian table blossoms in Santena: asparagus. The Santena Asparagus Festival, which takes place from 15 to 24 May 2027, celebrates this extraordinary product of the land with an event that combines agricultural authenticity and culinary creativity. Santena asparagus is renowned for its delicate flavor and unmistakable quality, the result of a tradition cultivated with dedication by generations of local farmers who know how to draw the best from this seasonal vegetable. During the festival, the town turns into a fascinating flavour trail where every corner offers new interpretations of this precious ingredient. From the food stalls emerge classic recipes that honour Piedmontese tradition alongside innovative preparations that show how asparagus can engage with contemporary cuisine. Whether paired with eggs, cheese, rice or presented in modern and surprising versions, every bite tells the story of a territory and of respect for raw ingredients. But the Santena Asparagus Festival is not

End: 20:00 “L’Immagine Imprevista”, a site specific performance conceived by Elena Rolla for the works of “Piero Simondo”, a leading exponent of “Situationism”. Site specific is an artistic expression made up of choreographic material created by studying Rudolf Laban’s movement theories, also known as “choreology”; where, thanks to analysis, compositional results are obtained through the reinterpretation of the rhythms of everyday gesture, on the one hand, and dance and movement in their intrinsic value, as for abstract art the sign, the color and the material, on the other. The dancers are the protagonists of this performance specially designed for the works of “Piero Simondo” and for the spaces in which it is set. As the audience walks while admiring the works, it sees duos, trios and solos dancing around it, simultaneously. All without music. Dance, in the site specific, leads the audience to admire the works, without overshadowing them and without setting itself against them. It is like a wonderful background music, an accompaniment however made of dance and not music, as the latter is perceived through the movements of

Place: Casalborgone When spring arrives in the hills of the lower Monferrato, Casalborgone comes alive to celebrate one of the season’s most delicate and appreciated legumes: the pea. The Sagra del Pisello is a precious opportunity to promote a local crop that has characterized the area for generations, standing out for its natural sweetness and superior quality.

During the three days of the event, from 22 to 24 May, the food stalls transform the town into an arena where peasant cooking takes center stage. From the dish of pasta with freshly picked peas to the simplest recipes that enhance its genuine flavor, every preparation is a tribute to seasonality and authentic ingredients. Local chefs and stall managers offer dishes that tell the culinary tradition of Monferrato, making the pea the ingredient that connects the past with the present. Beyond the flavors, the Sagra del Pisello offers much more: live music, performances and moments of entertainmen

End: 12:30 Painting, literature and music have told the story of Dido and Aeneas countless times: a story of love and abandonment. At the end of the seventeenth century, the English composer Henry Purcell gave it a highly striking visual version: it is the myth told by Virgil, which softens and blurs into a fairy tale, where witches, magical apparitions and an almost dreamlike atmosphere help create a exquisite chamber opera in the triumph of the very Baroque poetics of wonder. Music, singing and evanescence: on these impulses Controluce tells the story of Dido and Aeneas with silhouettes and human shadows. From the opening image of Aeneas’s boat crossing the stage, to the sail-screens - the ideal and symbolic place for the story to unfold - the story of Dido and Aeneas turns into a great mosaic of the memory of the Trojan prince who leaves Carthage forever to go toward his destiny as a hero. Melodrama is a way of telling stories that belong to us and accompany us, great stories that are at the root of our culture. Shadow is intangible, ephemeral, just like music. The pairing with theatre
