| Ravenna Festival |
| Ravenna - from June 13th to July 19th 2008 The 19th edition of the Festival is centered on women figures in myth and art. The opening event could only stage one of the most popular and beloved heroines of the opera repertoire, Violetta Valéry, the protagonist of La Traviata. The feminine declension of the Festival theme will give new life to a series of exceptional women, either famous or less renowned: from Rosvita, a "playwriting" nun of year 1000, to Anita Garibaldi, and Juliette Greco. The program also includes jazz, cinema, painting and musicals. Editor's note: Plan your trip to Italy with the travelogues on TheTravelzine. |
