SULLE ALI DORATE: ALBERI DI VITA
Planting trees to instill hope and remember the dead, recalling a tradition that has deep roots in human history from Etruscans to ancient Greeks, Romans and Celts: dedicating a holy wood to dead ancestors. Or, more recently, the case of the Garden of the Righteous in Jerusalem or the numerous Memory Lanes, in honour of the war victims.
Alberi di vita is a project that invites us to reach five places destined to the planting of five pomegranate trees in the city of Parma – pomegranates symbolize vital energy, invincibility, resilience – in order to remember the victims of Covid-19 and frame such a historical moment as a poetic, life-changing period.

Verdi Off in Safety
This special edition of Verdi Off has been conceived and realized in accordance with the safety and health normative for both audience and artists. At the entrance of every venue all participants will find sanitizing gel distributors, and they will be checked with a thermoscanner to monitor their body temperature. The audience is required to bring a mask, to avoid crowding and to respect the one-metre social distancing. The mask needs to be worn by covering both mouth and nose during access, exit and the whole duration of the performance. Before leaving the seats, we invite you to wait for the signal of our staff and their directions in order to avoid unwanted crowding. Reservations are necessary only when requested by following the instructions related to the single events. In order to reserve a seat, it is necessary to provide a telephone number or email address, which will remain stored for 14 days. Reservations are to be made under a single name (it is not allowed to reserve more seats under a unique name) and any nominal change has to be communicated to the ticket office in order to be valid. As the staff will be checking the correspondence between tickets headers and holders at the entrance of every show, please provide a valid identification document in a timely fashion.
