Arena

Información

Opera was born in Italy in the 16th-century, and this evening trip will take you on a trip back in time. Verona’s 2,000-year-old arena is the third-largest amphitheatre in the world – it used to be able to hold 30,000 people, but now seats around 16,000. Unlike Rome’s equivalent, this place is still very much in use, with a packed-full summer opera season. You’ll be whisked into the heart of the romantic city for an evening performance at the grand open-air opera house. You can sit on seats, once used to watch deadly gladiator fights and chariot races. You’ll be able to watch famous opera stars perform under a starlit sky, with the choice of stone seats or fancy cushioned ones. And you can bring your own picnic for a late-dinner, or tuck into a Panini, washed down with wine, from one of the vendors.
