Teatro Grande and the magic
of Opera in the City streets.
The Opera Festival is back. This is one
of the most captivating projects organized
by Fondazione Teatro Grande.
On Saturday, September 13th, for
the whole day Brescia will be invaded –
once again – by music, songs, and colours
thanks to this popular festival which
will guide adults and children through
the wonderful world of Opera at the
discovery of Puccini and his Madame
Butterfly, which celebrates 110 years of life
since its first acclaimed performance at
Brescia’s Teatro Grande.
