OTO's night concerts in the villas of Vicenza
About Summer Nights
Classical Music Under the Stars
Summer Nights is the summer series of evening concerts by the Orchestra del Teatro Olimpico (OTO), held in collaboration with the Società del Quartetto di Vicenza. Between June and July, the orchestra brings great music to the villas and historic spaces of the Vicenza area, offering refined outdoor evenings.
Venues and Programs
The main venue for the series is Villa Ghislanzoni Curti, a splendid example of a Venetian villa. The programs range from music for winds and percussion to repertoire for cellos, featuring OTO performers and prestigious guests. The nocturnal atmosphere and the villa settings make each concert an experience that combines music and heritage.
A Vicenza Summer Event
Summer Nights is part of the rich cultural calendar of Vicenza's summer, in Veneto, and represents one of the most elegant moments of the season, for classical music enthusiasts and for those who love discovering historic villas in a new light.
