The collaboration between Alveare Produzioni, Vivo Concerti, MilanoSesto SICAF and the Municipality of Sesto San Giovanni has made possible this extraordinary initiative, which promises to transform the area into a new attractive hub for major events.
Alegria: a classic reinvented to excite a new generation
“Alegría – In A New Light” is not just a return, but a true rebirth. This show, which debuted in 1994 and has enchanted more than 14 million spectators in 255 cities in 40 countries, has been completely reimagined to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The new version retains the magical essence of the original, enriching it with innovative direction, fresh musical arrangements, never-before-seen acrobatic numbers and breathtaking sets.
The story of “Alegría” (meaning “joy” in Spanish) unfolds in a once glorious kingdom, now caught between the old order and the youth’s desire for renewal. With an international cast of 54 performers including acrobats, clowns, musicians and singers, the show promises to transport audiences to a visual and aural universe of extraordinary beauty.
