Rehearsals underway for West Side Story in Rome
Posted June 23, 2025
Rehearsals are underway in Rome for Teatro dell’Opera di Roma’s new production of West Side Story, directed by Damiano Michieletto and conducted by Michele Mariotti. This striking new staging will come to life amid the majestic ruins of the Baths of Caracalla, offering a breathtaking backdrop for the musical. Rehearsals are taking place at Cinecittà Studios — an unusual location, but one that perfectly matches the scale and ambition of the production being brought to the stage at the Baths of Caracalla from July 5.
