The world's oldest active opera house, the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Italy, is going to host perhaps the least musical person it has ever hosted: Diego Armando Maradona.
On January 16, Maradona will paricipate in an event celebrating, um, Maradona.
As one might expect, some artsy people are unhappy about Maradona taking over an opera landmark, because he's, you know, Maradona. Diego Maradona's life seems more suited for a rave in an abandoned warehouse than an opera, but whatever.
“For the first time on a theater stage, Maradona will give his testimony of love and freedom,” actor and stand-up comedian Alessandro Siani, who wrote the production and will appear in it alongside Maradona, told Napoli Today.
His testimony of love and freedom. Yes. I am here for this.
"The show will highlight his truths and his incredible life," Siani said.
It's going to be lit. I'm willing to bet the Teatro di San Carlo will have more cocaine and ecstasy in it than at any point in its history. Maybe Fidel Castro will show up.
