Nestled in the picturesque town of Ravello on the stunning Amalfi Coast, the Ravello Music Festival offers an unforgettable cultural experience that has captivated audiences for over seven decades. Cultural Italy invites you to immerse yourself in the magic of this prestigious event, known for its rich history, breathtaking venues, and world-class performances.

The Ravello Music Festival, also affectionately known as the “Wagner Festival,” was established in 1953 in honor of the famous composer Richard Wagner. Wagner’s visit to Ravello in 1880 inspired some of his most beautiful work, and the festival continues to celebrate his legacy with a diverse lineup of classical music, opera, jazz, and contemporary performances.

One of the most enchanting aspects of the Ravello Music Festival is its unique venues. Most of the performances occur in the historic Villa Rufolo, a 13th-century villa renowned for its stunning architecture and gardens. The villa’s terrace, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, provides a dramatic backdrop that enhances the beauty of the music, making each concert a truly immersive experience. Additionally, the modern Auditorium Oscar Niemeyer, designed by the famed Brazilian architect, offers a state-of-the-art venue for various performances, blending contemporary design with the festival’s classical roots.
