Saga are delighted to offer
a range of holidays to two of the premier
opera events
in 2009 – the Verona Opera
Festival and the Puccini
Festival. Opera is a unique
dramatic form in which music carries the
burden of the drama and few men have accomplished
this with such success as Verdi, Puccini, Bizet and Rossini.
 Join
the regulars in Verona and enjoy different
operas in the programme for 2009. The romantic
city of Verona has been celebrating the
pageantry and passion of opera with its
world-famous festival since 1913 and
its stunning Roman amphitheatre provides
a magnificent backdrop.
Alternatively, enjoy the well-established
Puccini Festival held in Torre del Lago
in Tuscany,
where the
great Italian composer made his home, composed
most of his operas and is now buried. Discover
the local landscapes, culture and atmosphere
that inspired the creation of Puccini’s
glorious music, and experience it at night,
beneath the stars, in the magnificent open-air
theatre on the shores of Lake Massiuccoli.
