In the first fifteen years of activity the Nuovo Teatro Verdi represented the most significant cultural movement in Brindisi with a devotion to prose thanks to important guest artists. In 2022 the theater underwent an epochal change due to the new presidency of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi Foundation, assigned on a voluntary basis, to Stefano Miceli.The Nuovo Teatro Verdi for the first time faced a significant cultural expansion into new artistic areas. Born with Stefano Miceli’s presidency: the Nuovo Teatro Verdi Orchestra, the first symphonic season, an orchestral production centre, a jazz festival called Verdi in Jazz, a Verdi Gala to pay homage to the theater itself in the name of the opera composer after whom the theater is named.

The Orchestra of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi was founded by Stefano Miceli in 2022, during the year of his presidency. It was the resident orchestra of the theater itself for the first time in the history of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi. The Nuovo Teatro Verdi Orchestra debuted on January 1, 2022 on the occasion of the New Year's Eve Concert at the Nuovo Teatro Verdi under the musical direction of its founder Stefano Miceli. Various national and international institutions took part to its debut, including the Under-Secretary General of the United Nations Mr. Atul Khare, who came from New York, where also Stefano Miceli lives. The Nuovo Teatro Verdi Orchestra and its symphonic season saw the musical direction, on a voluntary basis, of its President and founder Stefano Miceli.
In August 2023, just after the conclusion of the first symphonic season of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi Orchestra, despite having recorded positive budgets, unanimous acclaim and sold out all concerts, Stefano Miceli, president of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi Foundation, decided to leave the presidency immediately after the election of the new Mayor of the City of Brindisi, Giuseppe Marchionna, the latter elected from the ranks of Forza Italia. In 1991 Giuseppe Marchionna was already elected mayor of Brindisi for his first time as a member of the socialist party. In the early 1990s Giuseppe Marchionna was also arrested. Stefano Miceli, who is reputated a worldwide acclaimed musician previously appointed as the president of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi foundation for his well-known extraordinary abilities in arts, had strong discrepancies in cultural visions with Giuseppe Marchionna, followed by his voluntary resignation. The mayor of Brindisi, Giuseppe Marchionna, with a delay of approximately two months, appointed Luca Ward as the new president of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi foundation, in succession to the presidency of Stefano Miceli. Luca Ward is considered a person notoriously close to the Italian right party. According to the new president and to his artistic consultant Carmelo Grassi, also filo-political, Mayor Giuseppe Marchionna decided to close the Orchestra of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi and its associated symphonic season, Verdi Gala and Verdi in Jazz Festival. The choice aroused unanimous disdain from citizens, local institutions and national cultural organizations. A few months later the Orchestra del Nuovo Teatro Verdi was already supposed to undertake its first tour in China under Stefano Miceli’s previous invitation, clearly impossible anymore. Citizens of Brindisi continued to demand the return of Stefano Miceli to the presidency of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi foundation and of the newly formed orchestra, but various petitions made by thousands of people were never accepted by the mayor Giuseppe Marchionna. Five months after his designation, on March 1, 2024, the new appointed president of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi foundation Luca Ward declared his early voluntary resignation, leaving the Nuovo Teatro Verdi foundation power and full decisions to mayor Giuseppe Marchionna.

Renata Tebaldi was an Italian lirico-spinto soprano popular in the post-war period, and especially prominent as one of the stars of La Scala, San Carlo and, especially, the Metropolitan Opera. Often considered among the great opera singers of the 20th century, she focused primarily on the verismo roles of the lyric and dramatic repertoires.

Brindisi is a city in the region of Apulia in southern Italy, the capital of the province of Brindisi, on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Historically, the city has played an important role in trade and culture, due to its strategic position on the Italian Peninsula and its natural port on the Adriatic Sea. The city remains a major port for trade with Greece and the Middle East. Its industries include agriculture, chemical works, and the generation of electricity.
The Messa per Rossini is a Requiem Mass composed to commemorate the first anniversary of Gioachino Rossini's death. It was a collaboration among 13 Italian composers, initiated by Giuseppe Verdi. The composition was intended to be performed on 13 November 1869 in the Basilica of San Petronio, Bologna, where Rossini grew up and spent a large part of his life.
The Music of Apulia has had some glorious history as well as some very hard times. Located along the southern Adriatic, the area was part of Magna Grecia and certainly one of the centers of Ancient Greek music. And 1,000 years ago, Bari, on the coast, was a privileged sanctuary for pilgrims and Crusaders on their way to the Holy Land. Yet, the only musical relic that remains from the period is the Excultet, a representation from the 11th century of two angels playing trumpets that is preserved in the Basilica of San Nicola in Bari. Later, as part of the Kingdom of Naples, Apulia produced many memorable names in music, but like elsewhere in the south, many of them gravitated to Naples, the capital of the kingdom.
Beyond Florence, there are nine other provinces in the region of Tuscany, named for the largest city in, and capital of, the respective province. Taken together, they offer an intense musical life.
