Today, the Teatro Comunale continues its tradition of excellence. The most recent productions have been by Pier Luigi Pizzi, Luca Ronconi, Bob Wilson, Pier'Alli, Werner Herzog and Calixto Bieito. The theatre employs 95 orchestra professors and 70 chorus artists and performs about 80 opera performances and 30 symphony concerts in a season. In addition to serving Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna region, the theatre has travelled abroad: we remember the tours in Japan in 1993, 1998, 2002 and in 2006, as well as participation in important international festivals such as Aix en Provence in 2005 and Savonlinna in 2006.
