Shakespeare 2026

Casa Shakespeare presents Shakespeare 2026, a major cultural project that will accompany Verona for an entire year on the occasion of the 410th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death and the World Shakespeare Congress, hosted in the city during the summer.

Shakespeare 2026 is an annual review of theater, meetings, and culture that brings together performances, shows, screenings, podcasts, and widespread interventions, representing the evolution of over ten years of Casa Shakespeare's work on the Italian and international scene.

The mission of the project is to make Shakespeare accessible, inclusive, and contemporary, a living heritage for diverse audiences.

The program includes twelve theatrical productions in twelve months, two historic festivals, and numerous permanent formats ranging from theater in venues to touring shows.

Central to the project is the Shakespeare Interactive Museum, the first immersive Shakespeare museum in Italy, which integrates theater and digital innovation.

The review is part of the Cultural Olympics of Milan Cortina 2026; the project helps to promote Olympic values through art, culture, and heritage, and represents a virtuous model of collaboration among institutions, cultural operators, and communities, uniting tradition and future in the name of Shakespeare.
