On Monday, September 30 at 4.30 PM in the Co-Working classroom, the presentation “Narrating inclusion through Opera: the “Arena for All” Project” will be held. The event will feature Elena di Giovanni (Universiy of Macerata), Eles Belfontali (Anffass Verona) and her daughter Stefania Paiola, in conversation with Manuel Boschiero (University of Verona)..
The presentation – inaugurating the Festivabìlia Coming Soon calendar – will illustrate an innovative project about inclusion in the performing arts realized by the Arena di Verona Foundation with the support of Müller Italia and the scientific coordination of Professor Elena Di Giovanni, assisted by Professor Francesca Raffi from the University of Macerata.
Starting from the 100th Arena di Verona Opera Festival (2023), “Arena for Everyone” has made 10 opera performances fully accessible each year, thanks to various dedicated accessibility tools, including inclusive trailers, audio descriptions of performances, and subtitles for deaf individuals.
