Ravello Music Festival


Ravello Music Festival
The Ravello Music Festival is something not to be missed if at all possible. A classical music programme starts in March until October with the highlight, the Ravello music Festival, in July.
About Ravello
Not only do world class performers and orchestra’s play at this event, but the scenery surrounding the venue (the gardens of Villa Rufolo) are spectacular. Since 1952, this ethereal setting and atmosphere has inspired many, including Robert Wagner and continues to bewitch visitors each year. This is, in fact, is one of the oldest music festivals in Italy, after perhaps the May music festival in Florence.
The Ravello Concert Society organises the season, with performance changing every year, from classical music and chamber orchestra, to Opera and Jazz, there is something for everyone. The society’s website has all the dates and events, and you can buy tickets online.
Concerts are also held in the Romanesque Cathedral, which has a 18th century facade and bronze doors by Barisano da Trani (1179). Of interest inside there is the pulpit by Niccolò da Foggia (1272) and a small ambo (1130).
