<p>The open-air Grand Theatre with the evocative backdrop of Lake Massaciuccoli in its full capacity of 3,400 seats will&nbsp;be the natural setting for the productions of Puccini&rsquo;s operas, just a few steps away from the Villa Mausoleum, where the maestro Giacomo Puccini lived and composed his immortal works and is now buried.</p>

<p>The Puccini Festival of Torre del Lago thus confirms itself as one of the most eagerly awaited events in the cultural offer of Tuscany and among the most internationally recognised, the only Festival in the world dedicated to the composer Giacomo Puccini that every year attracts thousands of spectators to the very places that inspired the maestro Puccini with his immortal melodies.</p>
