2025 Festival Verdi Weekend

Since its inception IFFV has organized an exclusive visit to Festival Verdi. IFFV participates in a Festival Verdi Weekend filled with excellent performances, incredible cuisine, and all of the excitement of being an insider at Italy’s premier celebration of the life and works of Giuseppe Verdi! The IFFV Weekend is limited to a maximum of 30 participants. IFFV members are treated to premium tickets to the festival plus exclusive backstage access and insider events that only come with being a member of IFFV. Festival Verdi Weekend falls each year during the Columbus Day holiday weekend in the US and often includes the annual Verdi Gala at Teatro Regio di Parma on October 10, Verdi’s Birthday.

This year’s IFFV Weekend takes place from October 9-13, 2025 and includes the Gala Verdiana (October 10), Otello (October 11), and Falstaff (October 12).

IFFV Weekend 2025 is on-sale!

We’ll add more details as we get closer but it promises to once again be an adventure filled with great music, food, and friends. Click the IFFV Weekend Details button below to learn more.

The key features to remember are that R/T airport transfers, all local transportation, premium tickets to 3 operas/concerts, meals, and special experiences are all included.

To reserve a spot, we are asking people to join the President’s Club. There are options for single occupancy ($1,000) or double occupancy ($2,000) and it represents the fully tax-deductible, non-refundable donation to IFFV included in the trip.

The $3,000 balance for single occupancy and $5,600 balance for double occupancy will be due on August 9, 2025 if attendees plan to join the IFFV Weekend this year.

N.B. This balance due is the fair market value of the trip and is not tax-deductible.
