This wonderful tour represents a very rare opportunity to see Andrea Bocelli perform in an intimate opera house (just 600 seats) in a performance of Puccini's Messa di Gloria conducted by Marcello Rota and also featuring baritone Gianfranco Montresor, the Orchestra Sinfonica G. Rossini and chorus of the Teatro della Fortuna.
The sightseeing itinerary is no less appealing - as well as our base, the lovely seaside town of Pesaro, tour highlights include Urbino, Ravenna and Europe's oldest republic, tiny San Marino.
