On Friday, July 24, 2026, at 9:30 p.m., Piazza del Duomo in Pisa will host *Accordo di Stelle*, a show that combines dance, music, and light displays as part of the events dedicatedto the anniversary of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The event, producedby the Opera della Primaziale Pisana, kicks off the season of summer events organized to celebrate the Leaning Tower, whose cornerstone was laid on August 9, 1173. The tradition of performances in Piazza dei Miracoli began in 2023, on the occasion of the Leaning Tower’s 850th anniversary, and has been repeated every summer since.
The evening’s headliners will be Roberto Bolle, étoile of Milan’s Teatro alla Scala; pianist, composer, philosopher, and conductor Giovanni Allevi; and Irish dancer Melissa Hamilton. Giacomo Loprieno will take the podium to leadthe Ensemble Symphony Orchestra, while Micaela Palmieri will serve as host.
The musical program will be dedicated to some of the leading composers of Italian film soundtracks, featuring works by Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, and Nicola Piovani. Loprieno, founder and conductor of the Ensemble Symphony Orchestra, is known for his work with film music and for the collaborations he has developed over the years with artists from the worlds of classical music, jazz, and pop.
Roberto Bolle will perform *Waves*, a solo piece conceived by Massimiliano Volpini to music by Davide Boosta Dileo and Erik Satie, characterized by the dancer’s interaction with a laser beam. He will then return to the stage alongside Melissa Hamilton in *Caravaggio*, a choreography by Mauro Bigonzetti set to music by Claudio Monteverdi, reorchestrated by Bruno Moretti, which will have its Italian premiere in 2025. Giovanni Allevi will perform “Back to Life,” “Tomorrow,” and“Our Future” on the piano—a composition first performed at COP26 in Glasgow.
Admission to the show will be free, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. For the occasion, the Campanile will close early and will be illuminated as part of the evening’s stage design. From 8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., visitors will also be able to tour the monuments in Piazza del Duomo free of charge. Access to the Baptistery, the Camposanto, the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, and the Museo delle Sinopie will be available by reservation starting July 13 through the Scopri Pisa website, while the Cathedral will remain open without a reservation, with limited admission.
