Service strike affects Turandot performance

The Turandot opera scheduled for October 23 at the Teatro di Como was performed without staging due to a service strike. However, the show was still held in front of an audience that was about half full.

Refunds offered for affected audience

The Coccia, one of the co-producers, offered refunds or credits to spectators who wanted to give up on attending the performance due to the lack of staging. This was an attempt to accommodate those affected by the disruption.

Full production planned for later date

The performance on October 25 at 4 p.m. is set to take place with the full production, indicating that the issues affecting the earlier show have been resolved or are not impacting this later date.

Jury invitation and travel inquiry

Invited to sit on the jury of the Premio Cantelli, the author asked the organizing institution about the arrangements for a trip requiring an early morning flight on the day of the competition. This was seen as a reasonable request, given the need to travel to the event.

Jury member excluded from event

Following the inquiry about travel arrangements, the author was informed by a secretary that they were no longer welcome on the jury. The issue of the travel requirement was thus resolved in a manner that excluded the author from participating.
