This
year’s Tuscan Sun Festival promises great talents from the silver screen.
Actors Sharon Stone and Jeremy Irons will make a special appearance at the
annual festival in Cortona, which runs from July 31 to August 7.
The
two Hollywood stars will perform together on August 5 in Nocturne:
Seduction, Smoke and Music – The love story of Chopin and George Sand,
a theatre piece which chronicles the love story of legendary composer Frédéric
Chopin and the infamous French writer and feminist Amandine-Lucile-Aurore
Dupin, known as George Sand. Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons appears
as the pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin and Stone plays Dupin. The two
stars read the letters exchanged between the lovers in an intimate theatrical
evening of the written word, marked by dance and the music of Chopin and his
contemporaries.
Now
in its ninth year, the Tuscan Sun Festival has an exciting and unique programme
that features world-class concerts, renowned stars, exclusive wine and culinary
events, visual art exhibitions and wellness classes. The festival’s wellness
events feature Trudie Styler, who will offer two yoga and pilates classes. An

Ferri.
