The music of Parma: from Verdi to Toscanini

In Parma, music is everywhere. In the ancient alleys, the luthiers are still hard at work in their workshops, creating instruments using ancient techniques that have been handed down for centuries. In the historic buildings, the notes of celebrated operas seem to ring from the very walls. Two of the world's greatest composers, who both shaped the history of music, were born here: Giuseppe Verdi and Arturo Toscanini. Follow in their footsteps alongside an expert guide, starting with a visit to the Birthplace of Arturo Toscanini Museum, followed by a walk in the Parco Ducale, the city's green garden. Continue to the Teatro Farnese and the Teatro Regio, one of the most important sites in the world of Italian opera. In the afternoon, continue with a guided tour of the Cathedral and Baptistery, then head for the House of Music, the Opera Museum and the House of Sound, inside the deconsecrated Church of Santa Elisabetta. An unforgettable experience to immerse yourself in the musical history of Parma.
