Grande Festival, 2025 season

A rich program of Opera & ballet, music, dance, cultural projects: the 2025 season of Brescia’s Teatro Grande is underway!

Divided into the two traditional semesters of performances (January through June, and September through December), the schedule includes dozens of events starring great orchestras and musicians, the best international dance companies and young Opera and ballet prodigies.

Also returning are cultural encounters, projects aimed at new generations, outdoor performances, and initiatives involving multiple artistic disciplines; the aim is to provide a broader look at the world of music and beyond, as well as to intercept audiences outside the prestigious setting of Teatro Grande.

The Opera and Ballet Season will be placed in the second half of the year, and will be presented in the coming months.

Teatro Grande, 2025 season: music and dance

From the official opening of the season with the concert of the Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by Maestro Iván Fischer (January 24, 2025) to the traditional Christmas Concert with the Vox Luminis Ensemble (December 22, 2025), there are many musical events that will fill the Sala Grande with notes and virtuosity.

2025 also marks the 30^th anniversary of the passing of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. This special anniversary will make ample room for piano compositions; Arsenii Moon, a young piano genius, will perform on December 10, 2025.

The rich dance program completes the offer, which will last through November.
