“The Dolomites. Are they stones or clouds? Are they real, or is it a dream?” – Dino Buzzati
There is a moment, between night and day, when the world seems suspended and muffled. Slowly, the sun rises, and the sky is painted in golden hues, while the peaks of the Dolomites turn pink. The Enrosadira lights up the stage of the Dawn of the Dolomites, and the music comes to life, blending with nature in a perfect embrace.
It is a collective ritual that repeats every year. In the darkness of the night, in that instant before the first rays of the sun arrive, spectators set off along the trails. The silence is broken only by the sound of footsteps, while headlamps trace moving streaks of light.
The luminous procession slowly reaches the concert site, gradually dissolving into a thousand colorful dots scattered across the grass and rocks. Padded jackets, woolen hats, heavy gloves—the people of Sounds of the Dolomites are ready to welcome the dawn to the rhythm of music.
There are no grandstands or conventional stages—only the artists, their instruments, and the Dolomites, gradually filling with light. Every note blends with the wind and glides along the rocks, making the Dawn of the Dolomites an immersive experience that strikes the deepest chords of emotion.
