About Rossini Concerts

The G. Rossini Symphony Orchestra's symphonic season stops in Fabriano, at the Gentile Theatre, with two events that intertwine lyrical tradition and contemporary languages. From Rossini's Barber of Seville told with manga drawings to the symphonic jazz of Gershwin and Poulenc, two evenings to discover a great Marche orchestra in the heart of the city of paper, in the province of Ancona.

Rossini Concerts return to Fabriano

The G. Rossini Symphony Orchestra returns to the Gentile Theatre in Fabriano, in the province of Ancona, with its Rossini Concerts series. Two evenings, in February and March, bring a musical proposal to the heart of this Marche city that combines the great symphonic repertoire with the desire to experiment with new languages, speaking to both classical music enthusiasts and a younger, curious audience.

Two evenings, two sound worlds

The first event, "The Barber in Comics", is an original project where Gioachino Rossini's most sparkling opera meets manga drawings projected on stage: a surprising dialogue between operatic tradition and Japanese pop culture, between music and images. The second, "An American in Paris", is a journey into the twentieth century suspended between European elegance and transatlantic vitality, with pieces by George Gershwin and Francis Poulenc and a tribute to the composer Riz Ortolani.

A great orchestra in the Marche region

The G. Rossini Symphony Orchestra is one of the leading musical institutions in the Marche region, and the Fabriano series is part of a broader program that also includes other cities in the region, such as Ascoli Piceno and Pesaro. In Fabriano, the concerts are held in the historic Gentile Theatre, a nineteenth-century gem named after the painter Gentile da Fabriano.

The Gentile Theatre, setting for the series

Located in the historic center, the Gentile Theatre of Fabriano is the city's main venue for music and live performance. Its seasons are supported by the Municipality of Fabriano, Fabriano UNESCO Creative City, the Carifac Foundation, the Marche Region, and the Ministry of Culture, testifying to the cultural roots of this event in the territory.

Why it's worth it

  • A great Marche symphonic orchestra just a stone's throw from the historic center of Fabriano.
  • A program that mixes classical, opera, symphonic jazz, and pop influences.
  • Affordable tickets, with discounts for under-30s.
  • A historic theatre full of charm, in the heart of the city of paper.
