An extraordinary edition to enhance the beauty of one of the world's most important monuments and to celebrate, with some of the unmissable events of the
Italian season, the protagonists of great international music, at a time when culture, art and entertainment are the formidable tools for the social and
economic revival after Covid. And it is precisely Riccardo Muti, in fact, after his exciting performance in the court theatre of the Reggia di Caserta last winter (recorded and aired on Rai Cultura), who wanted to pay a further tribute to his homeland and to this monument, a World Heritage Site, with a concert, conducted by ‘his’ Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini, that promises to be the most important event of the season.
Daniel Oren, Ludovico Einaudi, Jodi Bernacer, Vittorio Grigolo, Anna Netrebko are the other stars of an exceptional programme that ‘Un'Estate da Re. La grande musica alla Reggia di Caserta’ proposes for its sixth edition that will run from 6 July to 4 August, with a breathtaking stage in the Piazza Carlo di Borbone and the traditional theatre in the Aperia of the English Garden.
Financed by the Regione Campania, with the artistic direction entrusted to maestro Antonio Marzullo, ‘Un Estate da Re’ sees once again this year an intense collaboration between the San Carlo Theatre of Naples and the Verdi Theatre of Salerno. Organised and promoted by Scabec, Campania's society for culture and cultural heritage, the review - born from a project conceived and supported by President Vincenzo De Luca in 2016 to promote both the Reggia monument and our musical realities - is now a fixed appointment of the summer of opera and symphonic music in Italy, which will also see this year a concert in homage to Enrico Caruso, ‘the most beautiful voice in the world’ for the 100th anniversary of his death.
The event is organised in collaboration with the management of the Reggia di Caserta, the MIC and the Municipality of Caserta.
Fifth edition of Un'estate da Re. La Grande Musica alla Reggia di Caserta, the review of classical, lyrical and symphonic music, financed by the Regione Campania, with the artistic direction entrusted to Maestro Antonio Marzullo.
Realised in collaboration with the MiBACT and the Municipality of Caserta, the review is organised and promoted by Scabec, the Region's in-house company, and avails itself of the collaboration of the San Carlo Theatre of Naples and the Giuseppe Verdi Municipal Theatre of Salerno.
Born from the idea of the President of the Regione Campania Vincenzo De Luca in 2016 to create an event that would at the same time promote both the Reggia as a monument to be enhanced and the musical excellence present in Campania, ‘Un'Estate da Re. La grande musica alla Reggia di Caserta’ has now become a fixed appointment in the summer season, of great attraction for tourists as well, thanks to a very high-profile programme and a location of great charm: the marvellous hemicycle under the stars of the Aperia, located in the upper part of the royal park, set in the English Garden and restored year after year thanks to the festival.
This year the festival was held from 30 July to 13 September.
The fourth edition of Un'Estate da Re is now available. Great music at Reggia di Caserta is a classical, lyrical, and symphonic music review funded by the Regione Campania and is directed by Maestro Antonio Marzullo.
The review is a collaboration between the Region of Campania, the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Tourism (MiBACT), and the Municipality of Caserta. It is organized and promoted by Scabec, the Region's in-house company, and benefits from the collaboration of the San Carlo Theatre of Naples and the Giuseppe Verdi Municipal Theatre of Salerno.
The initiative was conceived by President of the Region of Campania Vincenzo De Luca in 2016 with the dual objective of enhancing the Reggia as a monument and promoting the musical excellence present in Campania. The event, entitled 'Un'Estate da Re', was launched in 2017. "La grande musica alla Reggia di Caserta" has become a permanent fixture on the summer calendar, drawing in tourists from across the globe. The event's high-profile lineup and picturesque setting, including the Aperia hemicycle under the stars in the upper part of the royal park, have made it a popular attraction. The festival's success is largely attributed to its consistent efforts in restoring the Aperia and the entire royal park, which has been a source of pride for the region.
The fourth edition of the festival was held from August 28 to September 29.
Un Estate da Re is the great opera and symphonic music experienced in prestigious locations of immense cultural value: the Reggia di Caserta and the Belvedere di San Leucio.
From 27 June to 7 August, the restored Aperia, the Palatine Chapel of the Reggia vanvitelliana and the Belvedere di San Leucio will be the location for a unique show featuring the great names of international music.
The spectators of ‘Un'Estate da Re’ will be able to visit the Reggia and travel through the gardens on board open-top buses in the magnificent Royal Park.
A unique and exclusive experience, yet accessible to all, for a summer of music and culture, magic and great emotions.
