Turandot tramonta…: Museo Villa Puccini centenary programme

About the event

2026 marks the centenary of the Museo Villa Puccini and 100 years since Turandot, the Maestro's last great challenge. The Fondazione Simonetta Puccini invites visitors to a calendar of events held within the walls of the historic house and in the modern acoustics of the Auditorium.

The programme covers music, art and curiosities. It includes a series of talks, "Intorno a Turandot", exploring the opera; a music marathon on 16 May, from 18:00 to midnight, when Puccini's original pianos will be played again; afternoons devoted to the Maestro's masterpieces, called Conversazioni d'Opera; and, on 29 November, a gathering of voices to mark the anniversary of the Maestro's death and the 100 years of the Villa Museo.

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