 Discovering events in Umbria
Umbria has everything - and a lot more: the curtain never
falls on the art, culture and entertainment that the region
has to offer and nearly every day, there are events and
appointments that are not to be missed.
These are great events that are famous the world over,
starting with
Umbria
Jazz in its three versions: the winter edition in
Orvieto, the Easter edition in Terni dedicated to gospel and
soul music, and the summer classic in Perugia, held in July,
which hosts the top stars of the current music scene.
And then there’s the TodiArteFestival under the
leadership of Simona Marchini, and the ancient and
prestigious Sagra Musicale Umbra (a festival inspired by
sacred music), not to mention the Segni Barocchi festival
staged in Foligno.
Theatre and music are intense activities here: each city
has its own theatre season, whereas the productions staged
by the
Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria have won fame and success
everywhere. Concerts are non-stop and special mention goes
to the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale in Spoleto, which stages
operas and offers important showcase opportunities for new
talents.
Last but not least are the historic and folklore
commemorations: each city has its own and the most famous
are the Quintana in Foligno, the Gaite in Bevagna, the Palio
dei Terzieri in Città della Pieve and the Balestra in Gubbio |
