OPENING CONCERT
The official opening of the 2025 edition will be held on Saturday, November 15th at 8:00 PM in the Sala del Ridotto of the Teatro Verdi in Trieste, with an exceptionally prestigious inaugural concert. The star will be violinist Ulisse Mazzon, accompanied by the Ars Nova Academy Orchestra conducted by Matteo Fanni Canelles, in a program entirely dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons. For the occasion, Mazzon will play the celebrated Guarneri del Gesù "Muntz" (1736), one of the most valuable instruments in the world, on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation. A violin valued at over ten million euros, its rare voice will resonate for the first and last time in Trieste before its return to the collection: an unmissable event for the city and the public. This concert also represents the "Muntz"'s last European performance before its return to the collection, marking a symbolic moment in the young violinist's career.
