- Day one opens with the gritty opera Cavalleria Rusticana, setting a dramatic tone for the festival.
- Later in the week, the tragic comedy Pagliacci takes the stage, offering a contrast of humor and heartbreak.
- Mid‑festival, Puccini’s beloved La Bohème charms audiences with its romantic Parisian backdrop.
- The final highlight is the lesser‑known masterpiece Iris, rounding out a diverse program of 22 concerts and four full‑scale operas.
Music lovers can enjoy a rich mix of classic and rare works across the two‑month run.
