Mario Brunello live in Bologna

Experience Mario Brunello live on November 6th

Mario Brunello will perform at the Teatro Auditorium Manzoni in Bologna, Italy on November 6, 2026. Brunello is an Italian cellist internationally recognized for his interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works, particularly those of the Baroque and Classical periods. His musical style is characterized by a historically informed performance practice, emphasizing clarity of articulation, nuanced phrasing, and a deep engagement with the composer’s intent – often performing on period instruments or with gut strings. He frequently explores connections between music and other art forms, incorporating elements of improvisation and theatricality into his concerts.

The Teatro Auditorium Manzoni is a significant cultural venue in Bologna, opened in 1938 as a cinema-theatre. Following extensive renovations completed in 2017, it now functions primarily as a concert hall and performance space. The auditorium boasts excellent acoustics and a modern design integrated with the historical structure of the building. It hosts a diverse program encompassing classical music, opera, ballet, theatre, and contemporary performances. The venue is named after Alessandro Manzoni, the renowned Italian poet and novelist, reflecting Bologna’s strong literary tradition. It's capacity is approximately 930 seats.
