Arena di Verona Opera Festival

📍 Verona · Verona · Veneto

The world's most famous open-air opera season, inside the Roman amphitheatre.

Since 1913 the Arena has staged monumental summer productions — Aida above all — for over ten thousand spectators a night. Stone-step seats are booked with a cushion; the lighting of thousands of small candles at dusk is the moment nobody forgets.
