Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Florence right now.
Florence has a lively classical music scene. The internationally famous annual Maggio Musicale lights up the musical calendar in early spring, and continues throughout most of the rest of the year. Fans of rock, pop, and hip-hop might be somewhat surprised by the absence of live acts that make it to town (for such offerings, traveling to Rome or Milan is often a necessity). What it lacks in contemporary music, however, it makes up for with its many theatrical offerings.
From mid-October to mid-April, see Italian plays at this 1656 theater, which was once the private venue of the grand dukes and which has undergone several metamorphoses. Its present incarnation dates from the early 19th century.
