Music and opera festival holidays in Italy

Italy is renowned for its musical tradition, from the adoption and development of the Gregorian chant, to the creation and nurturing of opera, from regional, folk music which has absorbed and integrated external influences over time to twentieth-century popular music. There is something utterly magical about the intoxicating sight and sounds of opera performed on a warm summer's evening under the Italian sky. From the grandeur of the Arena in Verona to the street stages in Perugia for the Umbria jazz festival, there is an array of splendid sounds for music lovers. Watch Romeo et Juliette at the Verona Festival, Rigoletto at the Puccini Festival or enjoy an array of classical concerts and events in the dramatic backdrop at the Ravello Festival.
Expressions Holidays will tailor-make your holiday to include as many music concerts or opera performances you wish to attend. These performances may be the main reason for your holiday, or you may just wish to visit the opera as part of a longer holiday. We will organise all travel and accommodation and will secure tickets in advance where necessary.
