Music and Opera

In summer, late evenings can be enjoyed listening to music. Many ancient churches and town halls bring in guest orchestras from around Europe.

July and August is the opera season. Highly recommended is Macerata, located one hour's drive from Il Girasole. One can sit under the stars in this old amphitheatre and experience some of Italy's finest operatic performances. For a programme and more information, go to www.sferisterio.com

There is a classical Rossini festival every year in his birthplace of Pesaro. For more information, link to www.rossinioperafestival.it
