Taormina Arte International Festival 2026

From 30 June to 10 October 2026, the Taormina Arte International Festival returns, an event dedicated to theatre, music and dance organised by the Fondazione Taormina Arte Sicilia.

Active in Taormina since 1983, the Festival has been part of the city’s cultural life for over forty years, with a programme spanning different genres and artistic languages, from classical music to pop and rock, from theatre to dance, featuring national and international artists and productions.

The 2026 edition takes place across several cultural venues. The Ancient Theatre of Taormina hosts numerous musical and theatrical events, with artists including Bryan Adams, Délia, Serena Brancale, Angelina Mango, Luca Carboni, Nino D’Angelo and Pooh, alongside performances and productions ranging from music to theatre.

The programme continues at the Odeon Theatre, with events dedicated to theatre and music, and also reaches Catania, where the Teatro Sangiorgi hosts Bellini alla Norma. From 30 September to 4 October, Palazzo Corvaja hosts La cena by Giuseppe Manfridi.

To close the programme, from 8 to 10 October, the Casa del Cinema in Taormina hosts a masterclass with Roberta Torre.

The Taormina Arte International Festival therefore offers a programme that accompanies audiences from summer into autumn through concerts, theatre and live performances in some of Taormina’s main cultural venues.
