The open-air opera in Macerata and the Rossini festival
in Pesaro.
Macerata, the provincial capital of Le Marche,
is approximately 40 kilometres from Sei Camini and is surrounded
by the Marches loveliest countryside. Fans of both opera and ballet
flock to
Macerata for its annual "Stagione Lirica" held at the
Sferisterio in July and August which is second only to Verona as
Italy's best open air venue.
The Sferisterio was built at the end of the 19th. Century as a sports
venue for a local ball game but a century later it was realised
it had great acoustics so it became an open air  opera
"theatre" and, as a neo-classical monument, is among the
best in Italy.
Other venues for music and opera are Fabriano, Urbino, Fano and
at Loreto, where an international choir festival takes place in
April and the famous Rossini Opera festival in Pesaro in August.
