The numbers of 2024

During Pesaro’s year as Italian Capital of Culture, the Festival organised no less than 85 events. The Summer Festival, the longest ever (from 7 to 23 August, for a total of 17 days, 4 more than usual), proposed 45 events (18 opera performances, 17 concerts, 6 Rossini Salons and 4 ROF Talks). From 25 February (as part of the celebrations of Rossini’s birthday) to 16 November (on the occasion of the feast of St. Cecilia and the commemoration of Rossini’s death), the review Playlist Rossini presented every Saturday the entire repertoire of Rossini’s operas in a special series of 39 concerts, each dedicated to an opera by the composer from Pesaro, from the balcony of the house where Gioachino Rossini was born. The season closed on 23 November with a concert of rare Rossini paraphrases, Tre strumenti per Rossini, as part of the Santa Cecilia Music Weeks.
