The 14th edition of “La Notte delle Streghe” in Benevento concluded in 2026 with “Suoni e Ritmi del Sud,” a closing programme dedicated to Neapolitan music.
According to NTR24, the finale ran across two consecutive evenings and focused on high-quality Neapolitan music. The report places those concluding performances at the Teatro Comunale di Benevento.
A finale built around classic Neapolitan melody
The musical programme was built around classic Neapolitan melodies and brought together singers, instrumentalists and tammorra dancers.
NTR24 identifies Enrico Salzano as artistic director. The performers named in the report include Alfredo Salzano, Pino Tiso, Giuseppe Marlon Salzano, Jack Corona, Valerio Russo, Attilio Pecora and Sergio Prozzo.
The closing performances also featured dancers Carolina Casaburi and Sara Volpe, young Sannio performer Maria Rosaria Rondina and rapper Antonio Anzovino.
The available sources do not establish whether every listed performer appeared on both evenings or only on selected parts of the programme.
The wider festival: “Janara Experience”
The wider festival programme included “Janara Experience,” presented in the ticketing programme alongside “Suoni e Ritmi del Sud: ’E voci ’e Napule” as one of the principal events.
It is described as an immersive experience involving history, magic and mystery in Benevento’s historic centre, connecting the festival’s witch-related theme to the city itself.
A note on venue and scheduling
Readers comparing listings should be aware of a venue discrepancy in the sources. The ticketing programme originally placed “Suoni e Ritmi del Sud” at the Teatro Romano, with an advertised start time of 20:30, while the later NTR24 report places the concluding performances at the Teatro Comunale.
The sources do not fully explain the venue and scheduling changes. Anyone planning around future editions should therefore check the final venue, dates and starting time in the official festival or ticketing pages before travelling.
NTR24 also reports strong public and critical success and “thousands of visitors,” but does not provide attendance figures or an independent measurement, so that assessment should be read as the broadcaster’s account rather than a verified count.
