Molto spesso noi miseri e incompresi amanti del musical ci lamentiamo di non riuscire a volare fino a Londra o a New York per assistere alle grandi produzioni, a causa di mancanza di tempo e di denaro. Quest'anno pero il Ravenna Festival, giunto alla sua diciannovesima edizione, ha deciso di fare un regalo agli appassionati del genere, portando sul palco del Teatro Alighieri la compagnia inglese Opera North.
Per chi conosce la gioia e la follia del teatro, e per chi non sa resistere a spiare dietro le quinte; per chi vuole ripassare Shakespeare e per chi vuole farsi trascinare dalle arguzie del jazz; per i romantici e per i cinici, e semplicemente per chi non vuole perdersi la festa: l'appuntamento e con il musical di Cole Porter Kiss Me, Kate al Teatro Alighieri il 7, 8 e 9 giugno.

From a ground-breaking musical to a mighty modern classic, here are some of this month's most eye-catching openings. Don't forget to check back for BroadwayWorld reviews, interviews and features!
