Rossini in Pesaro

Rossini is one of the few people who were born on February 29. He was the only child of two musicians, born in a troubled time of the French Revolution. Rossini spent his first 8 years in Pesaro. In 1800 Gioachino left Pesaro with his parents and returned 18 years later as an already famous 26-year-old man for a visit to inaugurate the Teatro.

The city has been intensively cultivating Rossini’s legacy for several decades, and with the Fondazione Rossini, the town has a competent steward of Rossini’s vast heritage.

Destination Teatro Rossini & Rossini Opera Festival

The beautiful opera house of the city of Pesaro dates from 1818 and was opened with the “Gazza ladra” of his son, already famous at the time. The theater had a troubled past and was damaged twice by earthquakes, among other things. In 1966 it even became unusable and in 1980 it was renovated, which marked the beginning of the Rossini Opera Festival.

The festival quickly gained an excellent reputation and nowadays it is one of the most prestigious opera festivals. The performances take place during the summer months in the atmospheric Teatro Rossini and in other facilities.
