Italy Events and Festivals

6/01/2009 - 9/30/2009Music and Drama Performances

In Taormina, the picturesque tourist capital of Sicily, a programme of music, drama, film and arts performances is held throughout the summer in the town's well-preserved Greek Theatre. Actually rebuilt substantially by the Romans, the location is fantastic, perched over the Sicilian coastline and snow-capped Mount Etna rising behind. Among the many film screenings, concerts and plays performed there is a programme of modern music. Elton John, James Taylor and Alanis Morrissette have appeared here in past years.
