Turin is full of music, paying homage to it in the mighty halls of the local opera house, the Teatro Regio, in three futuristic auditoriums, twelve theaters as well as various other places, where classical music mixes with modern music styles. You have so many choices. The Teatro Regio offers great annual events including operas, ballet performances and pure instrumental music.
The concerts, supported by Unione Musicale, are performed by great artists and Italian and international orchestras. Listen to the symphonic orchestras of Rai and Lingotto for an unforgettable music experience.
And there is even more: In September, Turin will be all music, presenting a mixture between classical music, ritual dances, folk music and modern music.
Jazz is another musical area closely connected to Turin, including events such as "Linguaggi Jazz", "Blues al Femminile" or "Torino International Jazz Festival". Apart from Turin´s traditional facilities, there is a variety of places where classical-traditional music combines with experimental and avant-garde music styles.

The rhythm of the night

In Turin, nightlife is always in fashion.

In earlier times, Turin mostly had tanneries, laundry places, covered boat docks and mills.
Today the city features impressive arcades, and a river walk affords wonderful views of the hills. But most of all, Turin has a variety of bars for every taste, from rhythm-and-blues clubs to commercial discotheques, from small restaurants to wine taverns with live music.
The so-called Murazzi are located here, also referred to as Turin´s Riviera: an exceptional and fascinating quarter that can hardly be found anywhere else.
From the river you will get to an archaeologically significant area, the Quadrilatero Romano. This quarter is characterized by a southern ambiance, the streets lined with bistros, Moroccan cafes and inns. It is one of Turin´s most beautiful areas that is best explored on foot.
Not to forget about the Docks Dora, located along the train track to Milano. It´s an industrial building from the early twentieth century, a former warehouse. Today the building hosts studios of young artists and architects, alternative shops and discotheques.
