Musical journeys
Coming soon
Florence is a remarkable musical city. Contrary to what its name might suggest, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino is not limited to the lovely month of May. It’s a remarkable year-round season of recitals, concerts and opera performances.
Among the highlights is Bruckner’s stirring Symphony No. 8, conducted by Zubin Mehta (October 6, 2024). For this concert, the musician has chosen Bruckner’s last completed symphony, whose slow movement quite simply opens the gates to eternity.
On October 10, 2024, Daniele Gatti presents the admirable German Requiem, an essential milestone in Brahms’ music. The work is an immense spiritual fresco, whose depth and humanity Gatti is able to underscore.
On October 24, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino offers a new production of Madame Butterfly, conducted by Daniele Gatti, directed by Lorenzo Mariani and starring Carolina Lopez Moreno in the title role. As Pinkerton, Piero Pretti has established himself as the leading Italian tenor of his generation.
