47th Festival della Valle d’Itria
17th July – 4th August 2021
The 47th edition of the Festival della Valle d’Itria will take place in Martina Franca during the customary summer period.
The programme – drawn up by Artistic Director Alberto Triola together with Music Director Fabio Luisi – leads us through the Neapolitan Baroque of Alessandro Scarlatti and Nicola Porpora – which caught on Europe-wide also thanks to the vocal stardom of Farinelli and his rivals – and all the way to the Viennese Classicism of Haydn, and ultimately Schubert.

The operas of the 2020 edition
The 46th edition of the Festival will take place in Martina Franca from July 14th to August 2nd 2020.
The operatic titles that will be staged in 2020 will be: Gli amanti sposi by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, La rappresaglia by Saverio Mercadante and Leonora by Ferdinando Paër. A choice in line with the decades-long artistic project of the Festival, between rarities and rediscoveries, with the return of twentieth-century historical title never seen again in the contemporary age, and two nineteenth-century rarities. These titles will also be accompanied by Niccolò Piccinni’s interlude Il perucchiere, destined for the successful “Opera in masseria” initiative.
