Bryan Adams

Bare Bones Tour 2026

Taormina Ancient Theatre, 30 June 2026 @

 

In “Bare Bones,” Bryan Adams sets aside traditional rock production to offer his music to the audience in a more stripped-down and deeply personal way: vocals and guitar, occasionally accompanied by piano, in a performance that focuses entirely on the intimacy and essence of his songs.

Tonight in Taormina, the legendary singer-songwriter interprets his greatest hits and most beloved songs with an acoustic approach,

June 18/22, 2026 – TAOBUK, Taormina Book festival

TAOBUK

Taormina International Book Festival

16 Edition

Theme of this year: “Fiducia” (Trust)

Taormina, 18-22 June 2026

 

Such is the alchemy of Taobuk that brings the excellence of literature, the arts and thought to Taormina, a unique place in the world, a crossroads between western and eastern culture.

The Festival, born sixteen years ago, from an intuition of Antonella Ferrara who presides and directs it, embraces the vocation of receiving the “literary sediments” of the city, synthesis of a history that coagulates events, myths, experiences, traditions. Every year, Taobuk chooses a theme around which a calendar of meetings revolve, with the participation of authoritative writers, artists, philosophers and scientists. The kermesse has taken on a multidisciplinary configuration and the programme is embellished with exhibitions, theatre and dance performances, film retrospectives, in evocative locations of which the most representative is the Ancient Theatre, together with palaces, corners and large hotels.

Taking trust as a theme means bringing the invisible fabric that sustains every relationship back to the center: the credibility of science, the responsibility of emerging technologies, the vitality of intellectual dialogue, the value of words in storytelling and art.
It means questioning trust in others, in society, in institutions, in time, and in the future.

Over 200 guests from 30 countries will make Taormina the center of multidisciplinary artistic-literary, historical-philosophical, scientific, political, and economic debate.

June 18-22, 2026 – Exhibition of Jean Calogero

T A O B U K

BELLESSERE È BENESSERE

Bellessere is well-being

Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano, Vico De Spuches, 18-22 June 2026

Opening on Thursay 18 June at 5:00pm

 

The first exhibition dedicated to the theme of the horse in the work of Jean Calogero, an internationally renowned painter from Catania (Sicily) and a central figure in contemporary surrealism.

 

In the work of Jean Calogero, the horse is never just a subject: it is an obsession, an origin, a mirror. Bellessere è Benessere is the first exhibition in the world to explore this theme in the work of the great surrealist painter from Catania, moving between archaic and mythic Sicily and the avant-garde Paris of the art movements.

At the Palazzo Duchi di Santo Stefano, the exhibition curated by Tiziana Rasà opens alongside the catalogue published by Maimone Editore, in a dialogue between criticism, publishing, and cultural institutions.

I T A L I A N   O P E R A   S E L E C T I O N

A selection of arias from

LA TRAVIATA

by Giuseppe Verdi

Teatro Nazarena (Via Fontana Vecchia, 3) Sunday 14th June 2026 @ 9:15pm

A free drink during intermission on theater’s terrace is included

 

An evening centered on emotional truth, musical intimacy, and timeless human conflict. Staged at the refined Teatro Nazarena, this performance brings Verdi’s most personal opera into a space where every gesture, phrase, and silence can be fully experienced.

Cast
Violetta Valéry: Liudmila Lokaichuk
Alfredo Germont: Federico Parisi
Baron Germont: Graziano D’Urso

Verdi’s Most Intimate Opera, La Traviata stands as a defining moment of the season: a work that speaks quietly yet powerfully about love, dignity, and sacrifice. In the setting of Teatro Nazarena, Verdi’s music finds a rare proximity—one that invites listening, reflection, and emotional connection.

June 12, 2026 – Taormina Film Fest – Brunello, il visionario garbato

T A O R M I N A   F I L M   F E S T

Brunello, il visionario garbato

Ancient Theatre, Friday 12th June 2026 @ 9:00pm

 

The true story of the Italian farmer’s son – Brunello Cucinelli – who changed the meaning of luxury

 

Tornatore […] tell the majority of the narrative through highly romantic dramatic recreations of scenes from Cucinelli’s life. Oprah and other famous friends popped up to offer commentary, but to the uninitiated that would be the only indication that they were watching a doc rather than an unlikely drama where a farmer’s son becomes a menswear icon and leading advocate of ethical, human-centred business practices, complete with a speaking slot at the G20.
