On a small island in the Mediterranean Sea the usual representation of the nativity is in danger because the child that used to play Baby Jesus is now grew. Moreover, on the island a baby hasn't born since a long time and it's necessary to find a new Baby Jesus. The mayor would like to "borrow" a child from the Tunisian community of the island, but between Italians and Tunisians there is bad blood. To help the mayor, there are Bilal, an Italian who converted to Islam and leads the Tunisian community, and Suor Marta, a nun who doesn't want to outrage the catholic tradition of the nativity.

15:00. Opera by Jules Massenet. 223 min (with two intermissions). Directed by Manon’s story—from innocent country girl to celebrated courtesan to destitute prisoner—is one of the great tragic tales in literature and music. Lisette Oropesa stars as the irresistible title character, the tragic beauty who yearns for the finer things in life, in Laurent Pelly’s revealing production. Michael Fabiano is the besotted Chevalier des Grieux, whose desperate love for Manon proves their undoing. Maurizio Benini conducts Massenet’s sensual score.
