MantovaMusica — Concert Season
A season of concerts spanning classical, contemporary, and jazz
About MantovaMusica
Great Music in Mantua
MantovaMusica is the concert season that has enlivened the musical life of Mantua for eleven editions. Its distinctive feature is variety: alongside classical music, there is space for contemporary, jazz, world music, and fusion projects, in a program designed to appeal to a broad and curious audience.
The Bibiena Theatre and Other Venues
The heart of the season is the Bibiena Theatre, an 18th-century jewel designed by Antonio Bibiena and visited by Mozart. However, concerts are also held in other venues in the area, such as the Church of Madonna della Vittoria and Volta Mantovana. Several series make up the season: the Sunday Concerts, the EightThirty Series, the experimental Eterotopie, and the summer cycle Le Bellezze Ritrovate.
A Program Looking at Anniversaries
The first part of 2026 includes twenty-six events from January to June, with a Mozartian preview at the Bibiena Theatre. The Sunday Concerts celebrate their thirtieth anniversary, while the EightThirty Series anticipates Beethoven's bicentennial in 2027 with three concerts dedicated to the composer. Among the guests are prominent names from the world of music and theatre.
Mantua, City of Monteverdi
In a city that was home to Claudio Monteverdi and houses one of Italy's most beautiful historic theatres, the Bibiena Theatre, MantovaMusica (Province of Mantua) represents the continuity of a great tradition. The concert season is a reference point for enthusiasts from all over Lombardy.
