An escorted group tour with two departure dates and hotel options seeing the main highlights of Tuscany with excursions and sightseeing included.
This year sees the fifteenth edition of the Bocelli-hosted event in his hometown of Lajatico. The exclusive annual event promises to be an exceptional show in 2020 entitled ‘The Mystery of Beauty’. Once again, Andrea Bocelli will perform alongside an extraordinary cast of international artists who will join him on stage singing some of the best loved songs and popular classics mixed with magnificent choreography and stage designs which hope to reinvent the experience of opera music. The stunning backdrop of the Tuscan hills and the concert under the summer sky of Lajatico combined with a stay in Florence with visits to some of Tuscany’s most lauded sights makes this a tour not to miss.
This lovely tour, based in the heart of southern Tuscany, includes a ticket to this wonderful open-air event together with a six-day tour of Tuscany including Siena, San Gimignano and Lucca.
Please note there is a significant walk (approximately 1.5-2km) to the concert auditorium so this tour is not suitable for those with walking difficulties.
