MUSIC CRUISE

Description

Le desiate acque di Claudio Monteverdi
Riding the wave of the successful past editions, Monteverdi Festival sets sails again, ready for the journey that Monteverdi undertook so many times between Cremona, Mantua and Venice. A new Music Cruise on the waterway connecting the Po river, the Mincio river and the Venetian Lagoon.
