The Arena di Verona Festival is an annual summer festival of opera that has been delighting audiences since 1936. Opera performances take place at the stunning Arena di Verona - the city's ancient Roman amphitheatre, which was once capable of holding 30,000 spectators and today is full of charm and history, creating an authentic opera experience.

Performances traditionally begin at dusk and spectators on the stone seats of the arena often bring small candles (the "mocoleto"), which are lit as darkness falls and the performances begin. You can then sit back and enjoy the amazing opera in the country where this wonderful form of entertainment was born.
Performances include Nabucco, Aida, Madama Butterfly, Rigoletto and Tosca.
