Royal Summer Stage
Sunset concerts in the Royal Gardens of the Monza Palace
About Royal Summer Stage
The Monza Palace becomes a stage
Promoted by Musicamorfosi together with the Villa Reale and Monza Park Consortium, the Royal Summer Stage transforms the Royal Gardens of the Monza Palace into a natural theatre for live music. The setting is the English garden designed by Giuseppe Piermarini, in the heart of the city of Monza (Province of Monza and Brianza), one of the most important monumental complexes in Lombardy.
A festival inspired by New York and Vienna
The idea is based on the model of major open-air music events, from New York's Summerstage to concerts in the gardens of Schönbrunn in Vienna: quality music in an extraordinary landscape setting, to be enjoyed at sunset. The program is deliberately cross-genre, encompassing jazz, Portuguese fado, Brazilian samba, film music, and the great symphonic and baroque repertoire.
Between the Royal Gardens and the Court Theatre
The series is divided into two parts: a summer segment in July and an autumn follow-up in September, with concerts also held in the elegant Court Theatre of the Royal Villa. A recurring protagonist is the Orchestra Canova, a youth ensemble that accompanies great international soloists. The affordable pricing makes the festival accessible to families and young people, confirming the event's popular yet sophisticated appeal.
Royal Summer Stage — edition 2026
The second edition of Royal Summer Stage takes place in two periods: from July 9 to 12, 2026, in the Royal Gardens, and then on September 20, 26, and 27, 2026, with classical repertoire. Featuring major international artists and the Orchestra Canova, in a dialogue between music, nature, and architecture in the heart of the Monza Palace.
