Rome's The Festival di Caracalla 2022

Your Evening at the Opera 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.

2022 summer’s list of operas and concerts performed by Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera includes the Roman singer Claudio Baglioni (3-19 June), Mass by Leonard Bernstein (1-5 July), the German violinist David Garrett (25 July), George Bizet’s Carmen (15 July- 4 August), and Giochino Rossini’s Barbiere di Siviglia (2-9 August). And for the ballet lovers, the worldwide famous ballet dancer Roberto Bolle and Friends (12 – 14 July) and Notre Dame de Paris (21 July- 3 August).
