Rethymnon Renaissance Festival 2009 - 12-22 July
|
|
| |
Since 2008 the Rethymnon Renaissance has undergone a
metamorphosis. For a short period Rethymnon gets transformed
into a medieval Venetian town and plays host to world-class
renaissance musicians. The programme also includes some
theatrical performances of plays from the Renaissance era.
A spectacular opening ceremony kicks off the festivities, and
the festival finishes with a similar closing ceremony. The theme
of this year's ceremonies is 'water'.
More information about the Rethymnon Renaissance Festival can be
found at
www.rfr.gr
Please note that there is Free Entrance for all performances
hosted by the Municipality for children up to the age of 18
years.
