These two opera festivals will appeal to the serious opera-goer looking for something rather special. Macerata is a small hill town in the Marche region of Italy a few miles from the Adriatic coast which turns itself over to the month-long opera festival. Much to see and explore in this area.
Pesaro is a busy summer resort on the Adriatic and the birthplace of Gioachino Rossini, one of the all-time most popular composers. Where more fitting to see and listen to some of his more unusual works?
