Mother Courage and Her Children: Bertolt Brecht’s epic theatre in Verona

The Teatro Nuovo in Verona welcomes a powerful production of Bertolt Brecht’s masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children, from November 10th to 15th, 2026. Starring Lunetta Savino, this adaptation directed by Leo Muscato brings the play to its most authentic and emotional core.

The performance explores the dichotomy of Courage, a character who treats conflict as a marketplace while fiercely striving to protect her children from the horrors of war. Muscato’s direction reimagines the play’s music, shifting towards a rock-infused style that illuminates the narrative, bridging the gap between the 17th-century European setting and our contemporary reality. This production is part of the 40th edition of Il Grande Teatro, a renowned series organized by the Municipality of Verona.

It is an essential cultural engagement for those seeking a profound and visceral theatrical experience in the heart of the city.
