Romanesti Cave - 40 miles away from Timisoara
Concert in the Cave (Concertul din Pestera)
Listening to Mozart, Vivaldi or Enescu in a concert hall is commonplace. Listening to a classical music concert in a cave is simply magical. Romania is one of the few countries in the world to organize such concerts. The fist one took place in 1984 and drew an audience of 600. Twenty two other concerts have been taking place since then. The Royal Danish Symphonic Orchestra, the Banat Philharmonic from Timisoara, and the State Philharmonic from Arad have performed here in the past. Entrance is free.
