From 8 July to 30 August, Real Collegio Estate will once again bring the cloister of Santa Caterina to life with 32 evenings of performances all with free admission. July 8th kicks off with a night of dance.

Music, theatre, dance, jazz, magic, local dialect performances, choral music, family shows and talks: a wide-ranging and popular programme, designed to offer the city an accessible, shared and vibrant cultural space.

The central theme of this year’s festival will once again be the ‘POPolare cloister’: a historic venue that opens its doors to the community, welcomes a diverse audience and gives a voice to the many artistic groups and organisations in the local area. Each evening, in fact, a different organisation will be present to showcase its activities and, in most cases, collect voluntary donations to support its projects.

Our thanks go to all the organisations involved, the artists, the theatre companies, the choirs, the musicians and and to the organisations that will make this summer of events, performances and participation possible.

We look forward to seeing you at the Real Collegio in Lucca, in the Cloister of Santa Caterina, with the entrance on Via della Cavallerizza.

📍 All events are free to attend

🕘 Performances start at 9.15 pm
