My husband is an Opera fan and would LOVE to attend a performance while we are in Italy. If anyone out there is aware of any performances going on in Rome (July 11-15) or on the Amalfi Coast (July 16-23), I'd love to look into it for him. Or even tours of the Opera House. Also any notable classical music in Venice from (July 24-Aug 2) would be interesting to him as well.
Hi - I asked a similar question a while back and was given these websites as suggestions: www.inromenow.comand ~and~ www.classictic.com
It may not have exactly what you are looking for, but it's a start. Happy travels!
Unfortunately you aren't going north. I'm not really an opera fan but I definitely have La Scala, in Milan, and the Ampitheater, in Verona, as places I want to attend an opera.
