ABOUT / THE PROJECT

The renovation of Cagliari’s Teatro Lirico and the Parco della Musica, which is also part of the Conservatory of Cagliari, provides works to complete the infrastructure and acquisition of equipment (for use in both internal structures, and in outdoor spaces), which will enable to make fully accessible the Park and the Theatres, both for citizens and for diversifying the organization of cultural events. These interventions, accompanied by the programming of quality food production, will enhance the regional territorial attractors, the strengthening of cultural tourism and internationalization. The increase in production and their international scope will in fact bring a significant increase in attendance of fans and tourists, not only in Cagliari and in the metropolitan area, but in the entire region.
