The new season at Rimini’s Teatro Galli promises a vibrant mix of theater and dance, with a program that gives a strong voice to female artists, offers intelligent and witty social commentary, and uses the stage as a space for deep reflection. The lineup is rich with diverse performances, bringing some of the most important and recent Italian productions to Rimini. The shows feature prominent directors like Antonio Latella and Martin McDonagh, and star celebrated Italian actors, including Ambra Angiolini, Daniele Pecci, and Vinicio Marchioni. The season also welcomes major companies like Teatro dell’Elfo and the Balletto di Roma.
The main program, divided into the A-B-C series, is composed of seven shows that alternate between different moods and time periods, offering audiences a journey through laughter, bittersweet smiles, and profound insights. Meanwhile, the "Other Paths" program, or the D series, provides a focused look at contemporary society. This section of the season is unified by themes such as female narratives, tyranny, censorship, and the rhetoric of modern life, offering a powerful perspective on today's world.
Beyond the main subscription, the theater offers an exciting list of special performances. A major highlight is the return of the smash hit musical "Saturday Night Fever" on February 18th and 19th, produced by the Compagnia della Rancia. Comedy fans can look forward to a new monologue by the popular Italian comedian Paolo Cevoli on October 28th and 29th, and lovers of classic operetta will enjoy the Compagnia Corrado Abbati's production of "Cin Cin Là" on December 8th.
The dance season also presents two highly anticipated events featuring renowned Italian companies. The Balletto di Roma will restage their work "La dernière danse?" on November 28th. Following this, on January 31st, the Compagnia Artemis Danza/Monica Casadei will perform their piece titled "Puccini’s Opera - Voci di donne", an evocative production inspired by the famous composer's female characters.
"Theater No Limits": This special project is designed to make theater accessible for people with visual disabilities. It provides audio descriptions for three shows, allowing visually impaired audience members to fully appreciate costumes, movements, and other visual elements of the performance.
Youth and Family Theater: A special program for young audiences continues at the Teatro degli Atti. It includes a series of shows for schools and a family-focused initiative called "Sciroppo di Teatro", with three shows for children aged 3 to 11. Beyond this, there are four special events designed to support and showcase young local dancers, further strengthening the connection between the arts and the community.

With this new creation by Monica Casadei, the Artemis Danza Company dedicates its artistic project to four fascinating heroines of composer Giacomo Puccini, on the centenary of his death: Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Mimì and Turandot.
In Puccini's Opera. Voci di donne (Voices of Women), we find Monica Casadei's personal interpretation of the theme of femininity at the centre of a process of choreographic, visual and musical reinterpretation. The protagonists are women who are as diverse as they are linked by a common thread of contemporary and timeless stories. Tragic love, thwarted and opposed love, cruel love that destroys, the desire for possession that leads to destruction: all this lives in the faces, bodies and gestures of the dancers and never ceases to make us reflect on the relevance of stories that have moved audiences around the world.
The result of Artemis Danza's research is a choral dance rich in impulses and passions, instinctive and at times wild, which makes whirlwind use of space and appears visually full: the solos are surrounded and protected by frames of ensembles, in a dynamic accelerated by propulsive forces that bring the drama and passions of the protagonists to life in the body and in the gut. Puccini's orchestral score is accompanied by electronic tracks by Fabio Fiandrini for Bohème and Turandot and Luca Vianini for Butterfly and Tosca, creating an enveloping and at times apocalyptic soundscape.  

Saturday Night Fever, the musical, produced by Compagnia della Rancia under licence from Broadway Licensing, is directed by Mauro Simone and inspired by the 1977 Paramount/RSO film and Nik Cohn's story exploring new trends in nightlife and the disco scene, adapted for the stage by Robert Stigwood in collaboration with Bill Oakes (North American version written by Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti), with the engaging soundtrack by the Bee Gees and arrangements and orchestrations by David Abbinanti.
Directed by Mauro Simone, who takes his cue from the film's immersive shots and the unforgettable sequence with a very young John Travolta, the theatre production brings freshness and relevance to the story of Italian-American Tony Manero, who marked a generation.
On stage, 21 performers bring to life the legendary hits of the Bee Gees, from Stayin' Alive and Night Fever to You Should Be Dancing and How Deep Is Your Love, global disco music successes but, at the same time, symbols of 1970s culture, hymns of freedom, courage and the fight against marginalisation. The lyrics of some of the songs have been translated by Franco Travaglio, while the songs that accompany the scenes set in 2001: A Space Odyssey are performed in English.

The most important networking event related to the aviation sector is coming to Rimini for the first time.

Over 1,000 delegates and representatives from 100 of the world's leading airlines, airports and tourist boards are expected in Rimini.
Routes events, part of Aviation Week Network, are unique annual forums dedicated to the development of new air services.

A unique opportunity to experience a special moment and kick off the season of great summer concerts in Italy.
While waiting for the new live shows, which will be held in various Italian cities such as Ferrara, Olbia, Bari, Ancona and Udine, the new album “Vasco Live 2025 The Essentials”, documenting the 2025 tour, is scheduled for release in November 2025. Comprising three vinyls and two CDs, the album project is based on the concept of a tour that “celebrates life” and includes only “essential” tracks, i.e. those that tell the story of an entire existence through their lyrics. There are 21 tracks in total, lasting approximately 99 minutes. The same concept also applies to the 2025 live photo book: two hours of video with exclusive content and lots of music, edited by Arturo Bertusi's Chiaroscuro Creative.

Rimini will host the 2026 edition of the prestigious Velo-city conference, the world cycling summit that returns to Italy after the distant 1991 edition. The European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) honoured Rimini's candidacy for its ability to move towards sustainable mobility and become a liveable and healthy city.
The World Cycling Summit, which returns to Italy after a good 35 years, is a great opportunity for the territory and will bring over 1,500 delegates from over 60 countries to Rimini for what is the most important knowledge exchange event for advocacy, administrations, policy-makers, academia and companies in the sector.
In its exceptional application, Rimini convened an impressive coalition of partners, including ECF’s member FIAB, which played a prominent role in securing the bid, and ANCI, the National Association of Italian Municipalities. The 2026 edition will be jointly organised by the City of Rimini, the AIM Group, and ECF.
