OperaCamion - May in the Square (Gianni Schicchi)

The OperaCamion project by the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, promoted by the Fondazione CR Firenze, has offered a series of free performances in Tuscan squares in previous seasons, remaining faithful to the formula created in 2016 by Fabio Cherstich and Gianluigi Toccafondo. A large truck enters the square, opens up, and becomes an open-air stage with a live orchestra, singers, lights, and costumes. The goal is to bring opera back to the people, restoring the popular and traveling spirit of its origins. The 2026 edition, which stops in Montevarchi for the first time, builds upon this consolidated experience.
