Tunisian Republic - Event

The El Jem International Symphonic Festival features performances of some of the finest classical works, set in the candle-lit surroundings of a fabulously-preserved Roman coliseum.

Year after year, the festival has attracted big names from the musical world, clearly as eager to play in such amazing surroundings as spectators are to enjoy them. A word of warning, however: even the most wonderful music will not detract from the fact that you're sitting on age-old stone. Bring a cushion.
