The Arena Sferisterio Association, founded by the Municipality of Macerata and its Province, promotes and organises the Macerata Opera Festival<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Arena Sferisterio Association – <\/span>Teatro di tradizione<\/i><\/span> was founded on 22<\/span>nd<\/sup><\/span> December 1986 by the Municipality of Macerata and the Province administration \u201cwith the aim of promoting and organising festivals, opera seasons, and other artistic and cultural events\u201d. On 15<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> October 1991, after only five years, the Association became a legal entity under Ministerial decree and since the summer of 1993, it has been managing the opera seasons of the Arena Sferisterio, succeeding the Municipality of Macerata.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1973, the Association was accredited the status of \u201c<\/span>teatro di tradizione<\/i><\/span>\u201d (literally \u201ctheatre of tradition\u201d) by the Ministry of Culture, in accordance with the provisions of the Italian Law No. 800 issued on 14<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> August 1967 and the Italian Ministerial Decree issued on 9<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> November 2007 establishing the assessment criteria as well as the procedure for awarding grants. In accordance with the Italian Law No. 800\/67, the above-mentioned status can be acquired only by those Italian theatres which strongly promote and preserve local artistic and musical traditions.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
