Here is 2025 ROF

The 46th ROF will be held in Pesaro from 10 to 22 August 2025. Four operas will be performed. A new production of Zelmira, directed by Giacomo Sagripanti and staged by Calixto Bieito, will open the festival. The opera has been absent from the ROF since 2009. This will be followed by another new production, L’Italiana in Algeri, conducted by Dmitry Korchak and directed by Rosetta Cucchi. The title has not been performed at the Festival since 2013.

There will be two performances: La cambiale di matrimonio, conceived for the 2020 ROF by Laurence Dale that will be revived together with the Soirées musicales under the direction of Christopher Franklin, and Il viaggio a Reims in the usual version, conceived by Emilio Sagi and performed by the students of the Accademia Rossiniana ‘Alberto Zedda’.

The 2025 edition will close with the extremely rare Messa per Rossini, written by various composers (including Giuseppe Verdi, Lauro Rossi, Carlo Pedrotti and Carlo Coccia) to mark the anniversary of the composer’s passing.
