The live show system in Bologna is rich and varied.
The city offers a great number of spaces and events as far as theatre, music and dance are concerned, thanks to the prolific activity of important cultural institutions, to a very thick network of associations and groups of young people and to the presence of the Music and Show Department of the University (DAMS). No sector is neglected: from tradition to research and experimentation, from events of typical local character to events of international level, and the data of the Società Italiana Autori ed Editori (SIAE, Italian Society of Authors and Publishers) confirm that every year Bologna can count on a public attendance among the highest in Italy.
The music production system is represented pre-eminently by the Fondazione Teatro Comunale (Foundation of the Municipal Theatre), historic and cultural heir of the musical vocation not only of Bologna, but of the whole region, recognised at international level as the land of opera.
The Foundation programmes an opera season in the Teatro Comunale, while it offers a symphonic season in the new Auditorium Teatro Manzoni (Manzoni Theatre Auditorium). The Manzoni Theatre offers also a chamber music season in collaboration with the “Musica Insieme” Foundation.
There are a great number of city associations and bodies that organise high level musical events of different kinds, that are enriched by recurring festivals and events, among which the Bologna Festival, mainly addressed to symphonic music, and Angelica, dedicated to contemporary music. It is necessary to remember also the concert activity performed in the city by the Mozart Orchestra, conducted by M° Claudio Abbado.
Such an articulated and dynamic scene is without any doubt a cultural heritage of great value, deeply routed in the territory, but at the same time open to cultural and economic national and international spurs.

Your browser is not W3C standards compliant.
Not only does this mean allowing the web to be used by people with disabilities,
but also allowing web pages to be understood by people using browsers other than
the usual ones - including voice browsers that read web pages aloud to people
with sight impairments, Braille browsers that translate text into Braille, hand-held
browsers with very little monitor space, teletext displays, and other unusual
output devices. As the variety of web access methods increases, adjusting or
duplicating websites to satisfy all needs will become increasingly difficult
(indeed, some say it’s impossible even today). Following standards is a
major step towards solving this problem. Making your sites standards-compliant
will help ensure not only that traditional browsers, old and new, will all be
able to present sites properly, but also that they will work with unusual browsers
and media.
Some consequences of ignoring standards are obvious: the most basic
consequence is that you will restrict access to your site. How much business
sense does it make to limit your audience to only a fraction of those who wish
be a part of it? For a business site, denying access to even small portions of
a target audience can make a big difference to your profit margin. For an educational
site, it makes sense to allow access not only to affluent, able-bodied school-children
with graphical browsers, but also to children in regions with poorly-developed
infrastructure who are best served by text-only browsing, or disabled students
using specialized browsers.
