It was in Pesaro, at the Rossini Opera Festival, that Juan Diego Flórez made his sensational breakthrough in 1996, launching a remarkable international career. Returning to this symbolic stage for his 30th anniversary is more than a celebration—it is a homecoming to the cradle of his artistic rise. His 2026 Gala Concert pays tribute to the bel canto repertoire that shaped his ascent, alongside great French and Italian roles that have defined his artistic evolution. A festive showcase of vocal brilliance and elegance, the concert celebrates three decades of artistry while honoring Flórez as a cherished part of Pesaro’s musical legacy.
