Notre Dame de Paris

Notre Dame de Paris returns to Senigallia

For three consecutive evenings, from July 10th to 12th, 2026, Piazza Garibaldi in Senigallia, in the heart of the province of Ancona, hosts one of the most beloved shows of all time: Notre Dame de Paris. The modern popular opera by Riccardo Cocciante returns to tour in the Marche region during the summer with its monumental stage design, breathtaking choreography, and songs that have become part of Italian music history, from the famous Belle to Il tempo delle cattedrali and Vivere per amare.

A Timeless Story

Freely inspired by Victor Hugo's novel, the show tells the tragic and poignant love story of the hunchbacked bell-ringer Quasimodo for the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, against the backdrop of medieval Paris and the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral. Alongside them are Archdeacon Frollo, the poet Gringoire, Captain Phoebus, and the king of the beggars Clopin, in a tangle of passion, faith, and rebellion that has captivated over 13 million spectators worldwide and more than 4.5 million in Italy since its Italian debut in 2002.

Cocciante's Music and Panella's Italian Lyrics

The secret to Notre Dame de Paris's global success lies in Riccardo Cocciante's score, which blends pop, rock, and lyrical melodies, and in the original lyrics by Franco-Canadian lyricist Luc Plamondon, adapted into Italian by Pasquale Panella. A repertoire of songs that have become true anthems, capable of moving different generations of spectators.

The Show in Senigallia

Senigallia's central square, the famous 'Velvet Beach' of the Adriatic Riviera, transforms into an open-air theatre to host one of the most anticipated events of the Marche summer. The three evening performances, all at 9:00 PM, are part of the production's major 2026 Italian tour, distributed by Vivo Concerti, which travels across Italy from theatres to arenas to the most evocative open-air settings like this one. For Senigallia and the Marche region, this is a nationally significant event, capable of bringing one of the world's most famous live entertainment titles to the region.
