Farnese Festival

The third edition of the Farnese Festival, from June 2 to 8, 2025, expanded the review to new spaces within the Monumental Pilotta Complex, under the artistic direction of Fabio Biondi. The opening, on June 2 in the Teatro Farnese, was entrusted to Europa Galante with the opera in concert form «I Fratelli Riconosciuti».

In the following days, international guests alternated, such as the Freiburger Barockorchester (with Mozart's early symphonies), the Orchestra Toscanini, the Concerto Italiano with Monteverdi's madrigals in the National Gallery, and a recital by Fabio Biondi and Giangiacomo Pinardi for violin and baroque guitar. The grand finale on June 8 brought together music by the great composers of the early 18th century at the Teatro Farnese — Bach, Händel, Vivaldi, and Corelli — performed by Europa Galante. The review was held under the patronage of the Municipality of Parma.
