Ravenna Festival

Ravenna Festival

The Ravenna Festival is a summer festival of opera and classical music (as well dance and jazz, ethnic music, drama, film, plus conventions and exhibitions) held in the city of Ravenna, Italy and the surrounding area each July and August.

It was founded in 1990 by Maria Christina Muti, the wife of the conductor Riccardo Muti who makes regular appearances there.

Typically, about two dozen events are planned and opera programming has included less well-known operas by Vincenzo Bellini and Donizetti as well as more popular works and visits by major companies such as the Vienna State Opera and the Mariinsky Theatre.

Many performances take place in the 19th Century Teatro Communale Alighieri, as well as the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare, the Basilica of San Vitale, and the Palazzo Mauro De Andrè.
