The Puccini Festival is one of the most awaited events of the rich cultural life of Tuscany, the most important opera festival in Italy and the only one in the world that is dedicated to the composer Giacomo Puccini. It takes place every summer, in the months of July and August, in the very places that inspired Maestro Puccini to compose his immortal melodies.

Founded in 1930, over the years, it became a prestigious event which attracts thousands of spectators from all over the world who can appreciate the biggest stars of opera, under the direction of important conductors, and admire extraordinary stagings designed by famous directors of Puccini’s operas such as Madama Butterfly, Turandot, La Bohème, Tosca and Manon Lescaut. Puccini’s operas are staged in a large open-air theatre (3.400 seats), on the shores of Lake Massaciuccoli, surrounded by greenery right in front of Maestro Puccini’s House Museum, housing the remains of the musician and where visitors can admire finds and relics of Puccini’s life and glorious artistic career.
