Opera Prima Festival

The 2025 edition of the Festival Opera Prima renewed the tradition of the contemporary theatre showcase in Rovigo, bringing Italian and international companies selected via an open call to the city. Performances took place between the Teatro Studio, the Giardini Due Torri, and other historic city centre venues, complemented by in-depth discussions and musical evenings. The event underscored the festival's role as one of the most solid platforms for experimental performing arts in the Veneto region.

The 2025 programme featured a mix of experimental theatre, contemporary dance, and performance art in Rovigo's city centre venues, alongside artist talks and the musical after-party. The selection was curated based on the international call for submissions, which receives hundreds of applications annually.
