01 Sanremo

The resort of Sanremo was founded in Roman times in a large inlet on the western Ligurian coast, and is known as ‘The Pearl of the Riviera of the flowers’. It is famous for its perfect weather conditions for swimming, the “La Pigna” – a pedestrian-only medieval centre – and the picturesque harbour lined with cafes and restaurants.

02 Monaco

Monaco has attracted international glitterati for more than a century thanks to its staunchly maintained independence and tax-free policy. Its capital, Monte Carlo, is a world-famous symbol of glamour, with a grand casino, royal castle, luxury shops, and chandeliered palace hotels. Students can mingle with the super-rich at its many museums, monuments and gardens.

Generic excursions

Musee Jean Cocteau, Menton The large open square in front of the Museum is used for live performances from Spring to Autumn, Concerts are promoted through the Museum and chairs and power are available to performing groups.
Mediatheque Noailles The Mediatheque acts as a Cultural Centre for the Arts and numerous events are arranged in the summer months. Performances take place in the early evening in the stunning gardens.
Auditorium, Ospedaletti Perhaps our favourite venue in the region: a modern amphitheatre in the village of Ospedaletti where the locals provide an overwhelming welcome.
Piazza San Michele, Albenga Albenga has the best-preserved historic centre in the region; four of its medieval tower houses and some houses built according to the traditional Roman plan can still be seen. Performances take place on the medieval square of San Michele in front of the eponymous Cathedral.
Bordighera The British have a long-lasting love for this resort which started in 1885 after the publication in Edinburgh of a book extolling the virtues of the town’s temperate winters. At the end of the XIX century, the British visitors outnumbered the locals.
Alassio Alassio is a sophisticated resort with a small marina, spectacular views and a lovely beach. Popular as a winter health resort because of its climate, the composer Elgar wrote a concert-overture while holidaying here in the winter of 1903-1094. Concerts take place on Piazza Partigiani.
Dolceacqua A stunning medieval hilltop village where time seems to stand still and where Monet was inspired to create four paintings whilst visiting in 1884. A truly magical atmosphere is guaranteed for your performance on the town square.
Sanremo A thriving resort with superb leisure facilities, the town has a strong musical heritage and one of the only twelve Symphony Orchestra recognised by the Italian State. Summer performances are arranged on the town squares.
