Courses in Performing Arts

The Performing Arts area includes master's programmes and advanced training courses for those who want to work in theatre, music, dance, cinema, television and the entire entertainment world. Italy boasts an extraordinary artistic tradition, from opera to spoken theatre, and offers academies, conservatories, universities and specialised schools that train artists and professionals to the highest level.

The teaching paths include acting, directing, dramaturgy, set design, costume design, production, event organisation, live performance management, artistic direction, sound and lighting techniques, music and singing. Students work in practical workshops, take part in real productions, meet directors, actors and producers, and learn to navigate a sector where practice and a network of contacts are essential.

A master's in Performing Arts lets you develop artistic, technical and managerial skills. You learn to plan and stage a show, manage budgets and teams, understand industry regulations, promote an event and use digital channels to reach audiences. Some paths also offer modules on funding, calls for proposals and distribution, essential for sustaining a cultural project over time.

The professions that open up are many: actor, director, screenwriter, set designer, costume designer, sound and lighting technician, producer, production manager, event organiser, event manager, theatre or festival director, teacher and cultural operator.
