Today the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the center of classical musical life in Florence, is based at the Teatro Comunale, and produces the Maggio Musicale Festival - together with Bayreuth and Salzburg, the oldest, important European music festival - as well as its annual concert, opera and ballet seasons.
