Bologna Festival 2024 | When the music embraces the city

This year’s calendar includes nine festival series, marked by some small but significant innovations compared to the past. Notable among these is the inclusion of a series tailored for the challenging adolescent audience and a new opening to non-Western repertoire in the autumn programs. Bologna Festival evolves within the framework of its significant past but with remarkable attention to the needs and curiosities of the present.

PLEIADES. The square lights up

A new spectacular event in one of the most fascinating squares of Bologna, dominated by the monumental towers by Kenzo Tange. In the evenings from 18 to 20 July, the towers designed by the famous Japanese architect, with their height of 83 meters, become a majestic setting for a site-specific performance that combines music, dance and video mapping.
