Festival Puccini
Few opera composers can match the work of the great Giacomo Puccini, and each year the Puccini Festival produces world-class opera in the picturesque town of Torre Del Lago, an hour and fifteen minutes from Florence by car, or 30 minutes from Puccini’s birth-town, Lucca. This year festival takes place from July 24th to August 29th, and showcases four of Puccini’s operas: Tosca, Turandot, Madama Butterfly, and Il Trittico. Held at the open-air Gran Teatro All’Aperto, seating 3,400 with stunning Massaciuccoli Lake as a backdrop, the setting is a fitting location for Puccini’s finest work.
