Napa Valley Festival del Sole

Napa Valley’s world-class Festival del Sole returns for its sixth season, July 15-24, 2011.

Set among lush rolling foothills and breathtaking vineyard landscapes, Napa Valley Festival del Sole brings together the best in music, dance, fine wine and cuisine, and unique lifestyle programs for a 10-day experience the New York Times calls a “feast for the senses.” 

The stars come out again for this year’s Festival del Sole. Highlights include the return of festival favorite Sarah Chang; a dance gala starring principal dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and American Ballet Theatre; an expanded vocal series with sopranos Nino Machaidze, Aleksandra Kurzak and Marnie Breckenridge, baritone Guido Loconsolo and tenor Francesco Demuro; a David Foster & Friends charity concert featuring Charice, Babyface, Ruben Studdard and the Canadian Tenors; and the premiere of a multidisciplinary program dedicated to the world of Shakespeare.
