Ravello Festival

Ravello Festival

Ravello - You really wonder whether someone has it out for you. Seems impossible that they could have made it more evocative. Yet, someone decided that the summer program of full symphony orchestra outdoor-concerts in Ravello on the roof-top terrace of Villa Rufolo (possibly one of the most incredible views of the Amalfi coast) just wasn't astounding enough. No, they had to go and push the envelope just a bit further and schedule one extra concert each year, at 4.15 am. . .

. . . 4.15 am?!? Sounds crazy, yes, but some of the best things are. It is planned "just so" for you to catch the sun rising over the Amalfi coast while listening to your Mozart, et al.

The Ravello Festival, careful . . so beautiful it actually might make your heart ache.
