The ancient Teatro Antico in Taormina becomes a hub for cultural fusion during Taormina Arte, a summer program of theatre, opera, ballet, and music. Running June through August 2025, the festival stages performances that weave together classical art and modern creativity.
Expect a rich mix of opera classics like Carmen, ballet evenings such as Giulietta e Romeo, pop and jazz concerts (e.g., Umberto Tozzi, Edoardo Bennato), and literary/music fusions under the stars.
Each event uses the gorgeously restored Teatro Antico as its backdrop, casting performances in dramatic silhouette against Taormina’s coastal panorama.
Taormina Arte is more than a festival—it’s a yearly celebration of artistic heritage that resonates with global audiences in one of Italy’s most evocative venues.
