National Premiere

Get ready for a second big opening celebration for the festival, this time along the Brenta River! There will be music and fireworks, featuring the special concert "The Four Seasons/The Four Elements" with the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto.

The program includes Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," with the Orchestra performing right on the Ponte Vecchio, the city's iconic symbol. The music will spread along the riverbanks, accompanied by spectacular fireworks launched from ten platforms placed in the middle of the Brenta, both north and south of the bridge. This display will illuminate the bridge's newfound beauty after its recent restoration.
