Musical Weeks at the Olympic Theatre in Vicenza is a festival of
classical music held, since more than fifteen years, during the month of
June in the wonderful theatre projected by Andrea Palladio in 1580,
considered the most ancient covered theatre in the world. The festival
is made up of various sections (opera, chamber music and symphonic
concerts, conferences and listening guides, films, master-class, special
projects). A characteristic of the Festival is that it has always been
interested in authors and repertoires not much patronized.
The Musical Weeks at the Olympic Theatre are member of the EFA (European
Festival Association).
The Festival would like to involve other Festivals in Europe in a common
project of concerts and artists exchange, in order to spread classical
music around Europe, in particular performing less-known repertoires but
which are expression of the local culture of each participating Country.
A session of the project will be dedicated to young emerging artists and
innovative performance techniques.
