Menotti Shapes Spoleto Festival Into a Town’s Lifeblood
Composer Ian Carlo Menotti, nearing his 85th birthday, has built Spoleto in Italy into a major arts hub since founding the festival in 1958. It runs June 24 through July 14 with about 206 events featuring opera, theater, dance, sculpture, painting, film, and lectures. Menotti, artistic director, lives near Edinburgh with his family and notes the festival employs hundreds of artists, many Americans, and highlights his works including Amahl and the Night Visitors and The Consul.
