Moni Ovadia is the new director of the Municipal Theater of Ferrara

The new director of the Ferrara Municipal Theater Foundation, named after Claudio Abbado, has been appointed: he is Moni Ovadia, renowned actor, musician and writer. The appointment came unanimously from the president of the theater’s board of directors, Mario Resca, at the suggestion of Vittorio Sgarbi, president of Ferrara Arte, and in agreement with the city’s mayor Alan Fabbri and culture councillor Marco Gulinelli.

Ovadia accepted the appointment with enthusiasm: “Ferrara is a city of extra-planetary beauty, I am privileged to be here. My main interest is and will be to do something beautiful and good for this city and for future generations,” he said.

“I insistently proposed Moni Ovadia both because of his professional qualities and his experience,” Sgarbi stressed. “A choice on a character of ’clear fame,’ who finds in the world of culture a formidable attention and who is an absolute novelty even for politics. Ovadia’s appointment also brings with it, among other things, a focus on Jewish theater. I believe that this represents a great opportunity for Ferrara to relaunch its theater on the national and international stage.”

“Theater is for the audience, it is life and it is truth,” the newly appointed director added, and he announced continuous programming, in which the theater goes out of its physical place to involve the city, and a festival of the vernacular cultures of Italy and Europe. “Our Europe should constitute itself as the unity of differences, of people,” he concluded.
