The shores of Lake Massaciuccoli, near Camaiore, provide a spectacular-and appropriate setting for the annual Puccini Opera Festival. The composer himself had a villa on the lakeside. A stage is built on the water while the audience are seated on terra firma and battle with the droves of indigenous mosquitoes. Take plenty of repellent and enjoy this year’s operas, three of Puccini’s most popular works, ‘Tosca’, ‘La Bohême’ and ‘Madame Butterfly’.
