The Rossini Music Festival has been held in the composer's hometown of Pesaro (Italy) since 1980. The original idea of ​​the festival was to introduce the public to little-known operas by Rossini, which is why the festival was held in collaboration with the music publishing house Ricordi, which supplied the festival with scores. As a result, some of Rossini's unknown operas became part of the standard repertoire.

Since the very foundation of the festival, opera stars of the first magnitude have been participating in it: Marilyn Horne, Ruggero Raimondi, Montserrat Caballé, Juan Diego Flores, Ildar Abdrazakov...

The world press regularly covers all the festival's productions, thereby giving birth to new opera stars.
