Where music meets the city. 🎭
There is a special way to discover Bergamo: through the music of Gaetano Donizetti, the great composer who was born here and whose legacy remains an important part of the city’s cultural identity.
During the Donizetti Festival, opera becomes an invitation to discover Bergamo from a different perspective—and to experience the city through the places, stories and atmosphere that shaped its most celebrated composer.
And what better setting than Città Alta?
Wander through its ancient streets, cross Piazza Vecchia, admire the historic palaces and Venetian Walls, and discover the places connected to Donizetti’s life. Here, music and history seem to meet around every corner.
🎭 Coming to Bergamo for the Donizetti Festival is about more than an evening at the opera. It is an opportunity to discover the city that gave Donizetti his first inspiration.
A journey through music, art and beauty, in one of Lombardy’s most enchanting cities.
Bergamo and Donizetti: a story to listen to, a city to experience.
