Stagione Teatrale del Cinema Teatro Comunale di Bomporto

A quality theater season in the heart of Bassa Modenese

The Stagione Teatrale del Cinema Teatro Comunale di Bomporto is the cultural event that every year, from late October until spring, enlivens the small Municipality of Bomporto, in the province of Modena, in the heart of the Bassa Modenese region of Emilia-Romagna. The festival is curated by ATER Fondazione, one of the most important public theater organizations in the region, in collaboration with the municipal administration: a guarantee of high-level programming, which brings nationally recognized shows and performers to a local theater.

Prose, music, and song-theater

The program alternates great authorial prose, monologues, live music, and song-theater, with a particular focus on Italian singer-songwriters and their protagonists. In recent years, the lineup has included tributes to music icons such as Giorgio Gaber, Fabrizio De André, Rino Gaetano, and Domenico Modugno, alongside reinterpretations of classics and new contemporary dramas. The stage has hosted performers beloved by the Italian public, from Lella Costa to Gioele Dix, from Mario Perrotta to Beatrice Schiros.

A theater for the community

The shows typically take place in the evening, starting at 9 PM, in the hall at Via Giuseppe Verdi 8/A. The intimate size of the Bomporto Municipal Cinema Theater creates a direct and personal relationship between artists and spectators, far from the coldness of large city theaters. The season is not just an entertainment offering; it is a cultural hub for Bomporto and the surrounding towns of the Bassa, a place where the community gathers around theater.

Theater for families

Alongside the evening programming, there is the Sciroppo di Teatro® festival, a regional project promoted by ATER Fondazione dedicated to theater for families, intended as a tool for cultural welfare: shows for children and parents become a sort of cultural "prescription," with a symbolic health booklet that rewards families' participation in live performances.

Affordable tickets

One of the distinctive features of the Bomporto festival is its affordable pricing policy: tickets for individual shows remain reasonably priced, and season passes for the entire season are available at rates designed to encourage local audience participation. Advance ticket sales are available online via VivaTicket and directly at the theater on show nights.
