Umbria & Le Marche

Other entertainment in Umbria & Le Marche

  1. Arena Sferisterio

    One of Europe’s most stunning outdoor theatres is the Arena Sferisterio, which resembles an ancient Roman arena but was built between 1819 and 1829. Between 15 July and 15 August every year it’s a venue for the Stagione Lirica, one of Italy’s most prestigious musical events, which attracts big operatic names. In late June every year, the arena plays host to the finals of the Musicultura competition for talented, up-and-coming singer/songwriters as well as a famous guest singer (tickets €5 to €30).

  2. Teatro Rossini

    The 400-year-old Teatro Rossini was renamed in the composer’s honour, and its grand ceiling and ornate box seats make it a take-your-breath-away spot to catch a concert, especially during the Rossini Opera Festival.

  3. Caffè Venanzetti

    Locals have assured us this is the best coffee shop in town. High ceilings and an old-style wood and mirror decor is a visual treat to go along with a delectable pastry case and one of the best cappuccinos in Le Marche.
