Returns in July the appointment with Tones on the Stones, an unparalleled experience, something quite new in world arts performance.

The aim, and the challenge, of the event is to highlight the aesthetic as well as the historical value of the stone quarries of the Verbano Cusio Ossola Province, by giving spectators a strikingly new viewpoint and enabling them to appreciate the rugged angularity of these places through new eyes. The dramatic setting provided by the carved-out mountainside gives breathtaking impact to the performances, transforming the quarry into a uniquely imposing stage.

The programme of the 2012 edition includes 3 performances:

- Saturday 7 July at 22,00
Butterfly Effect
Opera Ballet - World Première
Minerali Industriali Quarry - Verbania Fondotoce

- Wednesday 11 July at 21,00
