Production: Damiano Michieletto

Premiere: February 28, 2024

On a neglected farm, the animals revolt against their tyrannical owner. After some time, however, they are forced to submit to the yoke of a new leader from their own ranks.
Director Damiano Michieletto has long wished to bring Animal Farm to the opera stage. "The story is simple, a sort of fairy tale which, if you look at it more closely, deals with important issues such as power, oppression and propaganda in a nuanced way. The story is horrible but has comic elements as well", Michieletto notes.
