Teatro Lirico di Cagliari

La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini: postponed to January 2010. I Shardana by Ennio Porrino: postponed to February 2010

The Teatro Lirico di Cagliari announces changes to the calendar of performances of La Bohème programmed to open on the coming 18th December. The decision comes in the light of the cuts in funding that the entire theatre-show business sector has had to endure this year. Opera Houses and Concert Halls have been hit particularly badly, and a partial replenishment of capital has not guaranteed full support of all the activities programmed.

Unlike some Opera Houses, where programmed performances have been cancelled, the Teatro Lirico’s management has decided to postpone the above-mentioned performances to 2010. “We are perfectly aware of the inconvenience caused,” Maurizio Pietrantonio, chief executive of the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari pointed out. “ We are certain that our public will understand the decision, which was taken in agreement with the company trade union representatives, and will undoubtably contribute towards the balancing of accountsof the accounting period 2009.”

The following changes have been made regarding the performances of La Bohème, which consequently entails postponing the performances of I Shardana in the 2009-2010 Concert Season:
