Festival Verdi Weekend 2024

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Italy’s cultural and culinary paradise! From October 10 – 14, 2024, International Friends of Festival Verdi (IFFV) invites you to immerse yourself in the spectacular Festival Verdi 2024 and the splendor of Parma. As Condé Nast Traveller raves, Parma is a place “where gourmet traditions sparkle, agricultural myth and legend dance, and an operatic legacy (Pavarotti and Verdi, no less) unfolds.” Imagine indulging in the finest cuisine Italy has to offer, sipping impeccable wines, and soaking up extraordinary cultural experiences, all while being serenaded by the timeless music of Giuseppe Verdi.

The highlight of your journey will undoubtedly be the music of Giuseppe Verdi, experienced in the very place where his legacy was born. From grand operas to intimate performances, the festival offers a rich array of musical experiences that will leave you spellbound. Highlighting this trip are a gala celebration honoring Verdi’s birthday, new productions of Un Ballo in Maschera and Macbeth (in the French version), and Attila in concert.

Parma’s vibrant cultural tapestry and its historic streets, grand palazzos, and fascinating museums provide the perfect backdrop for this musical extravaganza and a truly authentic Italian experience. You’ll also savor dishes crafted by master chefs at a Michelin-starred restaurant, paired with wines that elevate every bite to a new level of perfection.

Space is limited, and this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
