About the event

The Fondazione Simonetta Puccini invites visitors to a calendar of events in 2026, held in the historic home and the modern Auditorium. The year marks the centenary of the Museo Villa Puccini and 100 years of Turandot, the Maestro's last opera.

On 29 November, voices will come together to mark the anniversary of the Maestro's death and the 100 years of the Villa Museo.

The wider 2026 programme includes "Intorno a Turandot", a series of talks on the opera; a music marathon on 16 May, when Puccini's original pianos will sound from 18:00 until midnight; and afternoons of "Conversazioni d'Opera" devoted to the Maestro's masterpieces.

The events are aimed at seasoned opera lovers and curious visitors alike.
