Three operas will be staged at the Teatro Regio: Un Ballo in Maschera (January) and Nabucco (March).
It's also the bicentenary of Richard Wagner's birth: Parsifal will be staged in March.
Subscriptions for the three shows will be on sale on 15th December (renewals) or 29th December (new subscriptions). Tickets for a single show will be on sale on 3rd January.
It's highly advised to buy subscriptions or tickets as soon as available.
