In the Summer 2016 a new, musical version of Emperor Nero will flame in Rome again. "Divo Nerone - Opera rock", is going to be an unprecedented challenge.

For the first time, the greatest Italian musical masters will join forces to create a unique artistic project which will make history. 2 time Grammy Awards winner Franco Migliacci, musical theatre director and choreographer Gino Landi, 3 time Academy Awards winner Dante Ferretti (scenic designer and production designer for many Hollywood productions) set decorator Francesca Lo Schiavo, and Academy Award winner Gabriella Pescucci for costume design will participate in the show.

The show is produced by Artisti Associati & Partners in partnership with Ernesto Migliacci, who will look after the artistic production for Dueffel Music and Amygdala.

The ancient imperial splendors will return again through tridimensional technology which will faithfully recreate the city of Rome as it used to be, in the sites where the Emperor used to live. This new interactive technology will completely surround actors and spectators, who will time-travel two thousand years in the past. The show narrates fourteen years of life of Emperor Nero and all the characters who lived through those dramatic events. This musical colossal will be presented in two languages: Italian and English for the international audience.

The casting took place in Rome during February and will soon arrive in London and New York.
