Spoleto Festival USA
In 1735, the Holy City-
so nicknamed for the
sumptuous church steeples and
cathedral spires that grace its
skyline-hosted North America's
first opera performance, firmly
establishing the community as a
haven for arts and culture. So it
makes sense that when Pulitzer
Prize-winning, Italian-born composer Gian Carlo Menotti sought
to launch a U.S. counterpart to his
homeland's epic Festival of Two
Worlds, he chose Charleston and
created Spoleto Festival USA in
1977. Now celebrating its 38th
year, the 17-day event-widely
considered the nation's premier
performing arts festival-serves
up more than 150 happenings in
13 local venues and features opera,
dance, theater, acrobatics, jazz,
and bluegrass, as well as classical,
choral, and chamber music. This
year's showstoppers include a new
staging of composer John Adams'
opera El Niño, the U.S. premiere of
Michael Nyman's contemporary
opera Facing Goya, the American
premiere of Gothic romance-mystery My Cousin Rachel (from Dublin's Gate Theatre), contemporary
ballet from Hubbard Street Dance
Chicago, tap from Dorrance Dance,
concerts by Lucinda Williams
and Béla Fleck, and much more.
But there's no need for anyone to
worry about getting lost in Spoleto
Fest's embarrassment of cultural
riches. Condé Nast Traveler named
Charleston the friendliest city in
America last year (not to mention
the year before that and the year
before that), while Travel + Leisure
readers crowned it America's
Favorite City. spoletousa.org

CMA Music Festival
Launched in 1972, the
star-studded, four-day
CMA Music Festival is a dream
come true for those who get their
kicks from three chords and the
truth, as legendary songwriter
Harlan Howard once described
country music. This year's superstar lineup includes acts like
5
Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum,
Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert,
Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley,
Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, and
Florida Georgia Line. In addition
to evening concerts at LP Field
(home of the Tennessee Titans),
the CMA Music Festival offers the
daytime Fan Fair X experience at
Music City Center with live performances, opportunities to meet
