The summer review of music and theatre in the Courtyard of Honour of Villa Greppi in Cernusco sul Naviglio
In Cernusco sul Naviglio, in the province of Milan, the Musica e Teatro in Villa review enlivens summer evenings with concerts and performances hosted in the Courtyard of Honour of Villa Greppi, one of the most evocative historic residences in the city. The review is part of the broader municipal summer programme "Guarda che Estate!", which offers cultural events for everyone from June to August.
The musical programme ranges across different genres. It goes from jazz, with concerts dedicated to the origins of African-American music performed by the Banda di Fiati Città di Cernusco sul Naviglio (Wind Band of the City of Cernusco), to classical music, with trios and ensembles from the Scuola Civica di Musica (Civic Music School). The evenings in the villa's courtyard offer an intimate and refined atmosphere, perfect for enjoying live music under the stars.
Alongside music, the review gives ample space to theatre. Among the events are adaptations of classics such as Aristophanes' "Lysistrata", curated by local cultural associations and groups, and prose performances that entertain the audience in the charm of the Courtyard of Honour. A programme that combines artistic quality and accessibility, in the spirit of enhancing the city's heritage.
With Musica e Teatro in Villa, Cernusco sul Naviglio confirms its cultural vocation within the Martesana territory. The choice of Villa Greppi as a stage enhances a historic city location, transforming it into an open-air theatre for a few summer evenings. An event that invites residents and visitors to rediscover the beauty of culture experienced outdoors.
