The setting, costumes and set designs, along with the world-class performances leave audiences in absolute awe year after year.

There really is something magical about the Verona Opera that appeals to everyone. The historical relevance, the incredible voices, the beautiful sets and the romantic setting of an open air amphitheatre, allowing for you to enjoy this open air show, in the heart of the spellbinding Verona. One of the largest preserved Roman arenas in the world, Arena di Verona boasts such superb acoustic properties that performances take place without the aid of a single microphone. When you visit and climb the staircases that countless generations of visitors have climbed before, it’s hard not to be impressed by this vast and magnificent arena.

Due to Verona's proximity to the shores of Lake Garda, we recommend that you combine a stay in one of the lake's beautiful villages with a night at the opera.
