The music from Italy plays an important role in Europe’s cultural history. The opera as we know it today evolved in the charming city of Florence during the early baroque era in the 17th century. Florence is also the home town and source of inspiration of famous composers, such as Antonio Vivaldi or Giacomo Puccini.

After Rome and Florence, Venice became another important opera city. The world-famous Gran Teatro La Fenice in the unique lagoon city was restored after a fire in the 18th century. It was the favoured opera house for the opera premieres of prominent composers, such as Giuseppe Verdi. The magical atmosphere of this theatre was perfect to delight the audience. And it still is!

A musical group tour to Italy can also be perfectly combined with the exclusive New Year’s Concert in Venice! It is annually organised by the Italian TV and exhibits renowned musicians. During this time of the year, the romantic lagoon city exudes a particular peace and harmony, that make this concert a very special experience.

In the “Eternal City” of Rome you can enjoy a high-class musical level under the starry sky in the Terme di Caracalla. It was built in 216 A.D. by the emperor Caracalla and since 1937, open-air opera performances of the Opera of Rome take place there. The magical atmosphere and the unique ambience can delight up to 20,000 viewers!
