An opera theatre, three auditoriums, twelve theatres, high quality concerts and live music every evening of the year. Torino loves music. Concerts of all kinds attract an educated audience, open to innovation. The city has a large number of associations that help to make the quality of musical life in Torino unique.
In 1991, the RAI National Symphonic Orchestra (based in Torino), the Teatro Regio Foundation, the Unione Musicale, the Lingotto Musica Association, the City of Torino and the Conservatorio Verdi set up an association known as "Sistema Musica" which co-ordinates the work of all these bodies in order to promote and develop the understanding and appreciation of music.
The association publishes a monthly magazine, an open invitation for the Italian and international world of music.
The Teatro Regio, one of Italy's most prestigious opera houses, offers a programme of the highest international standing.
The Unione Musicale, founded in 1946 to promote music amongst young people, organises a busy programme of chamber music concerts every year. The Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi is one of Italy's most famous music schools, attended by over 700 students. It contains an auditorium with splendid acoustics. The Lingotto Auditorium (one of the largest and most modern in Italy) hosts the world's greatest orchestras with the most renowned directors and soloists.
The high point of the musical season in Torino is Settembre Musica: a full immersion in music for the whole of September, organised by the City of Torino. From symphonic concerts to chamber music, contemporary and ethnic music, oratorio and jazz, the rich and varied programme attracts 40,000 people each year. The "Andrea della Corte" Civic Music Library conserves 60,000 books and scores, 15,000 recordings and 180 Italian and foreign periodicals, offering scholars and enthusiasts extensive and up-to-date information on classical music from all parts of the world.
Summer is the best time to hear music in the city. There are always numerous initiatives, including Giorni d'Estate, the summer concert series, and Extrafestival.
But you only have to go out any evening to hear music in Torino: one of the many local groups will certainly be playing just around the corner.
