This is suggested opera holiday with four nights and one performance included . The grand open-air summer Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago , Tuscany is an opera festival celebrating the life and works of the great Italian composer , Giacomo Puccini . Enjoy a luxury and tailor-made opera holiday at the Puccini Festival this summer and see world-famous performance of Puccini ’ s spectacular operas , Tosca and Turandot . Puccini was born in nearby Lucca in 1858 but from about 1891 and covering his most productive years , he spent most of his time at Torre del Lago , a small community about fifteen miles from Lucca . By 1900 he had acquired land and built a villa on the lake , now known as the ‘ Villa Museo Puccini ’. He lived there until 1921 when pollution produced by peat works on the lake forced him to move to Viareggio , a few kilometres north . After his death , a mausoleum was created in the Villa Puccini and the composer is buried there in the chapel , along with his wife and son who died later . The ‘ Villa Museo Puccini ’ is presently owned by his granddaughter , Simonetta Puccini , and is open to the public .
