How Villa Belcanto Came to Life: An Interview with Federico Grazzini

May 21, 2026

A clinic suspended somewhere between the 1920s and the 1940s. A group of young international artists. Arias and duets spanning Donizetti, Handel, and Tchaikovsky, woven together to create a new story — fragile, dreamlike, and deeply human.

A project created to showcase the new generation of artists from the Mascarade Opera Programme, blending music theatre, scenic exploration, and international artistic training.

The Weekend Magazine has dedicated a special feature to this new showcase: a journey into the aesthetic world and creative vision behind a production set to captivate audiences at the Teatro Regio di Parma.
