6 Concerts & Shows in Bergamo That You Shouldn't Miss
Bergamo is a northern Italy treasure. Dating from 49 BC, Bergamo has two centers: the Alta (upper) city and the Bassa (lower) city, connected by a funicular and walking trails. For historic sites, go to Alta for the Piazza Vecchia,the Cattedrale di Bergamo e Battistero, and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore Baptistry, as well as the quirky mausoleum of Rastelli, the world famous juggler. Bassa is more modern and residential, and boasts Via 20 Settembre - the shopping district.

Storico teatro della Città Alta, ristrutturato recentemente, bell'esempio dell'architettura neoclassica che ha avuto in Bergamo l'architetto Pollak come rappresentante.
Reviewed By 487ALISONH - Harrogate, United Kingdom
This theatre , a perfect 18/19th century gem , has close connections with Donizetti , who was born in and received his early musical education here . Appropriate that the Donizetti Festival that started only a few years ago , should be based here . We were lucky enough to get seats here for both performances of this year's featured operas , the seldom performed Enrico de Borgogna , and Il Castello di Kenilworth , which features our own Elizabeth the First ( who appears in 3 other Donizetti operas , none which are very historically accurate !) . In both operas international singers of considerable talent and reputation appeared and gave impressive performances , notwithstanding the rather odd production of the first-named opera . At the other performance the atmosphere was really Italian as one imagines it . The house rang to cries of brava , bravo and bravi in appreciation of the wonderful singing . For the best view of the stage the stalls are to be recommended ; in the boxes , depending on their relationship to the stage , you may have to sit at an odd angle to see the action completely .
