From opera performances to open-air theatre productions to a grand Easter festival, there are several ways to get entertained in Florence. Theatre aficionados should visit the Teatro della Limnaia di Villa Strozzi, a 19th-century orangery which holds contemporary plays from all over the world in a gorgeous alfresco setting throughout the year. Florence also holds the distinction of being home to the oldest opera theatre in Italy, the impressive Teatro Della Pergola, the venue for over 250 productions annually. Held on every Easter, the 900-year-old Scoppio del Carro Festival sees a magnificent display of fireworks, believed to guarantee a good harvest.
