The Puccini Festival,
17 - 21 July 2008
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Puccini’s birth, we will enjoy spectacular performances of ‘Tosca’ and ‘Turandot’ in the lovely lakeside setting which inspired the maestro. 2008 sees the opening of a superb new open-air theatre.
We find echoes of the past in the towns, castles and abbeys of this little-visited corner of Poland. There will be visits to several estates which have been re-acquired by the families of the original Prussian owners.
We discover some of the loveliest and most remote countryside in Italy, explore delightful hill-towns and find masterpieces of the Renaissance, both celebrated and surprising.
