Verdi’s passionately romantic music is loved so passionately that the Verdi festival has spread from Parma to include Parma and surrounds: Modena, Reggio and Emilia. The strains of his dramatic melodies were born against Parma’s backdrop of churches and cobbled streets surrounding the Teatro Regio which now hosts the main events. Concerts and operas happen daily, and each day of the programme includes one of his crowd pleasing favourites: could be ‘Rigoletto‘, ‘La Traviata’, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Don Carlo’, ‘Falstaff’ or ‘Aida’, as well as his lesser known works and glorious Requiem performed by the cream of the world’s performers. You couldn’t help but fall in love with opera amongst this kind of enthusiasm for the art and the swoon-inducing heights and soars of Verdi’s music (that’s before the dramatically heaving bosoms and handsome lovers are taken into account.). Love, death, love, death, love death and passion is all its glory. This festival will make you feel something. Verdi himself was born just out of Parma in Busseto, which pilgrims will want to visit both for the many memorials (the man himself was very well loved.), and The Teatro Verdi, Museo Civico and Villa Verdi.
