About Rio Saliceto Theatre Season
The Theatre Season of Rio Saliceto
In the small municipality of Rio Saliceto, in the Bassa Reggiana plain in the province of Reggio Emilia (Emilia-Romagna), the Municipal Theatre of Rio Saliceto becomes the hub of the town's cultural life every year with its Theatre Season. The series runs approximately from November to April and offers a programme that blends prose, comedy, monologues, and musical moments.
A series curated by Quelli del '29
Artistic direction and organisation are entrusted to the Associazione Culturale Quelli del '29, a local entity led by Paolo Di Nita, which has been animating the Reggio theatre scene for years. Alongside guest performances by artists from the national scene, the programme highlights productions by the resident company, capable of attracting a loyal audience and renewing the bond between the theatre and the community of Rio Saliceto.
A varied programme
The programming ranges across different registers and appeals to a wide audience:
- Comedy and brilliant comedy, with shows designed for the general public;
- Prose and author monologues, often performed by well-known faces from television and theatre;
- Productions by the Quelli del '29 company, rooted in the tradition of local theatre;
- Musical moments, which enrich the programme with concerts and live music performances.
The theatre and its audience
The Municipal Theatre of Rio Saliceto, on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, is a town theatre that preserves the intimate and welcoming dimension typical of small Emilian centres. Here, the season is not just an offering of shows, but a social event that brings together the inhabitants of the municipality and neighbouring towns, in a climate of familiarity that is an integral part of the experience.
A local theatre network
The Rio Saliceto season is part of a broader network of theatres in the Bassa Reggiana area managed by the same association, allowing enthusiasts to follow a programme spread across multiple venues in the region, sharing season tickets and subscription plans designed also for younger audiences.
