Ravenna Festival

Since 1990 Ravenna Festival has been characterized by an extremely varied artistic programme including all types of performing arts: symphonic and chamber music, opera, drama, dance, ballet, musical theatre, jazz, and ethnic music. Every year from May to July, the entire city becomes a stage for two months: its staggering gilded basilicas, encrusted with ancient mosaics, its elegant historical theatres, its cloisters, gardens, squares and ancient buildings brought back to life.
