Our Story: Spoleto Festival USA was founded in 1977 by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Gian Carlo Menotti, who sought to create an American counterpart to the annual Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy, that he founded in 1958. Looking for a city that would provide the charm of Spoleto as well as its wealth of theaters, churches and other performance spaces, Menotti selected Charleston as the ideal location. The inaugural season was held in 1977. Spoleto has also served as a catalyst for cultural change in Charleston, aiding in the city’s flourishing as a top destination. Together with the city and community leaders, Spoleto has spearheaded the renovations of numerous performance spaces: Festival Hall (formerly Memminger Auditorium), Dock Street Theatre, College of Charleston Sottile Theatre, and the Charleston Gaillard Center. In a typical season, Spoleto mounts 150 performances in more than 10 venues. The Festival also produces its own operas, specializing in rarely performed masterpieces by well-known composers, American premieres, and traditional works presented in new ways. In its 45-year history, the Festival has produced and/or presented more than 20 opera, dance, and theater world premieres.
