Ravello Festival 2015 | Complete program

For three months the 2015 Ravello Festival at Villa Rufolo will thrill us with music and art events

In the enchanting setting of Villa Rufolo, in the beautiful Ravello, flagship of the Amalfi coast landscape and naturalistic, will take place, by 20 5 to September, the 2015 Ravello Festival.

The festival, which is one of the oldest, was conceived and created by Girolamo Bottiglieri and Paolo Caruso who transformed Ravello into "City of Music". Subsequently the association of the name of Wagner, the great composer who found, right at Villa Rufolo, both ideas for the scenography of the second act of the Parsifal, is the way to improve the entire musical plot of his latest masterpiece.

Il thread of this edition, whose artistic director is Stefano Valanzuolo, will be there"InCanto”, A recurring musical theme in Wagner's production, but which also contains the mystery and magic of the places that host the Festival, promoted by the Ravello Foundation.

The scheduled events will alternate between Symphonic and chamber music concerts, jazz and pop repertoire, leaving space also to the theater, alle visual arts, at the word meetings.

Three long months of culture that will enchant the summer of Ravello.
