The Donizetti Theater Foundation, with the City of Bergamo, announces the Prose Season and Altri Percorsi 2026|2027, the backbone of the Theater Season, whose full playbill also includes Operetta, Opera&Concerts and other events: a rich and articulated program that will run at the Donizetti Theater and Teatro Sociale over six months, from December 2026 to May 2027. There are seven titles in the Prose Season, for eight performances per show, and as many in Other Paths. Sergio Gandi, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture, brings greetings from the Municipal Administration of Bergamo: "The Season of Prose and Other Paths has always been one of the cornerstones of our city's cultural offerings. This is thanks to artistic choices of absolute quality, reflecting the complexity of national theater production and beyond. Bergamo is itself a city that explores different areas of expression - from music to cinema, from visual arts to dance to spoken word theater precisely - marrying an awareness of tradition with current events. The proposals of the upcoming Season also go in this direction and are confirmed as a vehicle for a dialogue between past, present and future." George Berta, President of the Donizetti Theater Foundation, stresses the importance of the Prose Season and Other Paths also with a view to the involvement of young people, and takes the opportunity to thank those who work for the success of all the activities of the same Foundation: "In reiterating the centrality among our proposals of the Prose Season and Other Paths, it is also relevant to emphasize our role in bringing young people closer to the theater and culture more generally. In this perspective, the work of the Artistic Direction, which aims to involve the world of youth with special initiatives, as well as to offer high quality performances to the public, fits fully into this perspective. Also for this aspect, thanks are due to all those, both public and private partners, who support us in order to make our activities more and more incisive." Massimo Boffelli, General Director of the Donizetti Theatre Foundation, takes his cue from the success of the 2025|2026 Season: "In presenting the upcoming Prose and Other Paths Season, we cannot but start from the data of the season that has just ended: 51,706 total admissions for Prose - 5,763 subscriptions - and over 7,000 for Other Paths. These are significant, important numbers that confirm the success of audiences and once again attest to our driving force involving spectators of various age groups. We do not want to err on the side of presumption, but these are figures that few other theaters nationwide can count today, even in cities with a numerically larger population than Bergamo. The Season of Prose and Other Paths therefore plays a prominent role in our programming, as well as in the hearts of the people of Bergamo, showing its identity in a composite framework that includes two festivals of international scope, Donizetti Opera and Bergamo Jazz, the review Lezioni di Storia,
