After a forced hiatus of three years, but following the extraordinary success with the public and critics of the two previous editions, which recorded over 90,000 paying spectators in the 82 performances throughout Italy, a new season of WE WILL ROCK YOUthe show with the Queen's hit produced by Claudio Trotta and directed by Michaela Berlini. Tickets are now available on the main ticketing circuits and on the websites of the individual theatres.
The exciting story of Galileo e ScaramoucheQueen, a great love story for Music and Freedom, will be staged in Italian theatres with a renewed cast, to once again inflame entire audiences animated by young and old, who will share with the protagonists, amidst emotions and laughter, the story of a Hope for a better future, of the commitment and sacrifice needed to change a destiny that seems already written, of the saving power of Rock and Roll, of the importance of knowledge and real sharing and the right to express oneself.
