Giuseppe "Beppe" Menegatti (6 September 1929 – 17 September 2024) was an Italian theatre director.
Life and career
Giuseppe Manegatti[1] was born in Florence on 6 September 1929. He attended performances of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino as a young boy; he remembered that he received a ticket for Verdi's Rigoletto for his thenth birthday, in a performance with the young Giulietta Simionato as Maddalena.[2] He developed a passion for opera.[1] The Silvio D'Amico National Academy in Rome awarded him a scholarship. In the mid-1950s he was called by Luchino Visconti as assistant director. He collaborated during his career with Eduardo De Filippo, Vittorio De Sica,.[1][3] Giorgio Strehler and Franco Zeffirelli.[4]
He directed operas, ballets and plays by important authors, including, in 1964, the Italian premiere of Samuel Beckett's Play and that of Isaac Babel's Maria.[3][2] He directed almost all shows of his wife, ballerina Carla Fracci.[1][5] He authored productions that combined dance, spoken language and song.[1] He directed for television, such as The Ballerinas, a ballet-drama in two parts in which Peter Ustinov and Fracci played roles in scenes from the history of ballet.[4] He recreated ballets whose choreography had been lost, especially in the 2000s when he and his wife managed the Rome Opera Ballet, for example Ballets Russes ballets such as The Red Poppy.[4]
