Spoleto
-
Festival of the two Worlds |
In
the green heart of Umbria, dominated by a beautiful "Rocca" Castle,
the
historical town of Spoleto is a throwback to medieval
times. During the Festival dei Due Mondi, the town hosts some of the
more avant-garde musical and dance
companies. The Spoleto Festival 2008 is nowadays a worldwide
attraction that gives an international image to the town and is one
of the most important cultural happenings in Europe. The festival
is a unique and
incomparable fusion of art and urban spaces,
of art and landscape, of art and the social fabric. The Festival
begins with an inaugural concert on the Piazza Duomo outside the
cathedral. A prelude concert and several opera performances are held
in one of the town's lovely theatres.
Concerts, meetings, exhibitions, dance
performances, cinema screenings and a host of
classical music performances fill more than two weeks, with a daily
series of midday concerts. The Festival unites the arts with the
common language of contemporary relevance and thus impacts emotions
from within.
