The Overture
The Overture for the fourth edition stems from a collaboration between the Salieri Circus Academy and the German company Scenic Circus, with choreography by Gulnara Savenko, Elena Grossule, and Giada Marchese, performed to the music of Antonio Salieri’s opera Falstaff. It features eight young Ukrainian dancers and circus artists, supported by Péter Fekete and the Capital Circus of Budapest, with significant co-funding from the European Union.
Established four years ago in Antonio Salieri’s birthplace, the International Salieri Circus Award aims to blend circus arts with live symphonic music. Conceived and produced by Proeventi, promoted by ANSAC – Associazione Nazionale Sviluppo Arti Circensi and Fondazione Teatro Salieri, the festival is supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Municipality of Legnago, Camera di Commercio di Verona, and under the patronage of the Regione Veneto and the Provincia di Verona.
