Giacomo Puccini

Giacomo Puccini, one of the most important composers of all time, has always loved his homeland: Tuscany. He was born in Lucca, but was fascinated by Torre del Lago and never left this region, which inspired him to create his world-famous operas such as Bohème, Tosca, Madame Butterfly and Turandot.

The Puccini Festival is the most important opera festival in Italy and the only Puccini festival in the world. It takes place in the locations that inspired the maestro’s work. The festival offers the opportunity to listen to great stars of the international opera scene perform Puccini’s masterpieces in a large open-air theater on the shores of Lake Massaciuccoli, directly in front of Puccini’s house museum.

To mark the 100th anniversary of the maestro’s death, the festival that bears his name will celebrate his immortal works in the place where they were created.
