5 Best Performing Arts in Florence, Italy
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Florence right now.
Florence has a lively classical music scene. The internationally famous annual Maggio Musicale lights up the musical calendar in early spring, and continues throughout most of the rest of the year. Fans of rock, pop, and hip-hop might be somewhat surprised by the absence of live acts that make it to town (for such offerings, traveling to Rome or Milan is often a necessity). What it lacks in contemporary music, however, it makes up for with its many theatrical offerings.
Amici della Musica
This organization sponsors classical and contemporary concerts at the Teatro della Pergola ( Box office, Via delle Carceri 1 055/210804).
Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
Santa Maria Novella
In 2014, a new music hall opened in the area now called the Parco della Musica (Music Park), which was designed by Paolo Desideri and associates. Maggio Musicale Fiorentino has taken up residence there, and continues to hold forth at the Teatro Comunale ( Corso Italia 16, Lungarno North 055/287222). Within Italy you can purchase tickets from late April through July directly at the box office or by phone ( 055/277--9309). You can also buy them online.
