The Prince of Egypt opens at Rome’s Teatro Brancaccio on 29 October 2026 in an Italian production. It may appeal to visitors looking for a musical evening during their stay, particularly those already familiar with the story and Stephen Schwartz’s songs. The language is an important booking consideration: this is not advertised as an English-language performance.
What to expect from the production
Directed and designed by Federico Bellone, the production presents the story of Moses through music and staging. Its promotional material announces a live orchestra and approximately fifty performers. The score includes When You Believe, a recognisable reference for audiences who know the animated film.
For an international visitor, the attraction is the combination of a familiar narrative and a large theatrical production in a Roman venue. However, knowing the film or songs will not necessarily make every spoken passage understandable. English surtitles have not been verified. If following the dialogue is essential to your enjoyment, check directly with the theatre before buying.
Choose the actual performance, not just the advertised run
On 3 October 2026 the official booking calendar lists performances from 29 October through 8 November. The introductory text on the same page advertises a run until 15 November: further performances need confirmation in the live calendar.
Opening night is listed at 9pm. Selected dates also have 4pm matinees, alongside evening performances. Pick a specific date to confirm the start time and available seats. The show’s running time and interval have not been verified, so avoid arranging a tight onward connection based on an assumed finish time.
