The Best Performing Arts Venue in Florence, Italy

Background Illustration for Performing Arts

Florence has a lively classical music scene. The internationally famous annual Maggio Musicale lights up the musical calendar in early spring, and continues throughout most of the rest of the year. Fans of rock, pop, and hip-hop might be somewhat surprised by the absence of live acts that make it to town (for such offerings, traveling to Rome or Milan is often a necessity). What it lacks in contemporary music, however, it makes up for with its many theatrical offerings.

Teatro Cartiere Carrara

Lungarno North

This large exhibition space, formerly Tuscany Hall, hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including concerts by visiting rock stars, performances by lesser-known bands from across Europe, and a large art market.
