Ariston Sanremo events autumn 2025
Sanremo's prestigious Teatro Ariston has a rich and varied program planned for residents and tourists for autumn 2025, starting Thursday, September 25th with the show "Love Me to Death" by criminologist Roberta Bruzzone . The expert will demonstrate the dynamics of toxic relationships and malignant narcissism, analyzing the five stages of emotional manipulation and the invisible psychological violence that can destroy a person. Dr. Bruzzone intends to provide a path of awareness and defense, especially for women.
On Friday, October 17, Umberto Galimberti will take the stage with "The World of Emotions." In a captivating evening, the philosopher will explain how emotion is not a natural gift, but something to be acquired and cultivated culturally. The ancients learned about passions through mythology, while Dante called them human movements. Today's distance from emotions, from the complexity of language in exchange for facile simplifications, combined with an unrestrained use of technology, creates a worrying and disorienting confusion. So we can relearn them through literature, a privileged place to explore pain, boredom, love, despair, and romance.
From Thursday, October 23rd to Saturday, October 25th, the long-awaited Tenco Award, the 48th edition of the Songwriters' Festival, will take place. This is an unmissable event for lovers of quality music, as always organized by the Tenco Club, founded in 1972. During the event, both the Tenco Awards, which since 1984 have recognized the best Italian singer-songwriter albums released in the past year, and the Tenco Awards, awarded since 1974 at the Club's sole discretion to artists who have made a significant contribution to the international songwriting scene, will be presented.
"Pignasecca Pignaverde" will be performed on Thursday, October 30th.

Friday, October 31st, guaranteed laughs with Awed, Dadda, and Dose and the third season of "Esperienze DM." The format, born online, has become a true live phenomenon with a unique and engaging formula: reading and commenting on voice messages and anonymous confessions sent by the audience, often funny, embarrassing, or surreal. The show will feature a never-ending stream of interaction with viewers. The strength of "Esperienze DM" lies in the spontaneity and camaraderie between the three protagonists, friends in real life and partners in crime on stage.

On Saturday, November 15th, there will be a double performance at 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM for adults and children with the musical "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens , who wrote it in just six weeks for Christmas 1843. The miserly old Scrooge hates Christmas, but on Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of his partner Marley and three spirits. The spirit of Christmases past shows him the mistakes he has made, the spirit of Christmases present shows him the happiness the holiday brings to others, while the spirit of Christmases yet to come warns him of his terrible fate if he doesn't change his ways. Scrooge awakens on the morning of December 25th with a profoundly changed soul and will finally open his heart to generosity and love for others.
" The Crime of Thinking" is the title of Paolo Crepet's keynote lecture, scheduled for Friday, November 21st. The widely followed sociologist argues that at the root of all freedom lies the exercise of free will. If, for the first time in human history, it were decided to prohibit it—in favor of market and political rules—what would become of our imagination, of the genius fueled by disobedience to conformity? By limiting the formation of thought, we could control the future. Crepet declares that this is a fantasy entertained by many companies, politicians, spiritual leaders, and intellectuals. Instead of a fantastic and joyful future, there are those who would like everyone to imprison their minds, becoming replicants, inhibited by criticism and doubt.
December kicks off on Tuesday the 2nd with the musical "Lupin the Gentleman Thief." The Crown Company is pleased to present a thrilling new original production dedicated to the most famous (and beloved) thief of all time. A captivating jazz soundtrack will immerse you in the glamorous Paris of the 1930s, where a story will unfold that will entertain and touch your heart. Ready to board the Orient Express?

Thus, the secrets of the green planet will be revealed in three stages, combining nature and comedy. There are three fundamental parts of a plant: roots, stem, and foliage. Their importance and their impact on humanity and the ecosystem will be explored.
On Sunday, December 7th, Roberta Bruzzone will return to "Parents on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown," this time teaming up with psychotherapist Giuseppe Lavenia. The two experts will address the complex dynamics of parenthood, exploring stories of control, manipulation, and emotional fragility within families, to raise awareness about the challenges of being mothers and fathers today.

The legendary detective is now immersed in total apathy due to a lack of worthy adversaries, but suddenly he must investigate a grave threat looming over the city: an attack, on the very date of the Jubilee, that could cause hundreds of victims, including Her Majesty.
