Ravello concerts

Musical concerts in the gardens and villas of Ravello above the Amalfi Coast

The coastline far below serves as a backdrop for the stage at this May-through-October series of open-air performances in the gardens of the Villa Rufolo. Each year features a theme that loosely informs the orchestral concerts (mostly symphonies and chamber orchestras), dance, movies, and conferences of the festival. Wagner—whose Parsifal was inspired by these gardens—always features prominently.

Ravello Concert Society

The Ravello Concert Society organizes beautiful concerts throughout the season, including those in June which are open-air performances in the famous gardens of Villa Rufolo, which inspired Wagner's Parsifal. All other performances in April, May, September and October take place inside the Villa itself.

Duration: 1.5–2 hours; Cost: from $41
