Caracalla Festival 2023

Opera, dance, cinema, theater and music under the Stars at the Baths of Caracalla

There’s no better way to spend a balmy summer night in Rome than enjoying an opera, ballet or concert at the Baths of Caracalla. A cultural hub and vibrant social spot back in Ancient Rome, the Baths were the equivalent of a community day spa, where Romans would go to bathe and socialize. It was a place to entertain and to be entertained. Fast-forward thousands of years later, and the ruins have become an open-air, improvised stage that welcomes thousands of locals and tourists every summer.

Opera, dance, cinema, theatre, great symphonic music, jazz and pop. The Rome Opera House‘s summer programme becomes a festival: the Caracalla Festival 2023, with 50 evenings planned, from 30 May to 10 August, to be held at the usual location, Teatro Grande, by the old thermal baths of Caracalla, and at a new location, Teatro del Portico,  by the tempio di Giove (Jupiter’s temple).
