History of the Arena di Verona Opera Festival:
103 Years of Magic, Passion and Great Music
Since 1913, the Arena di Verona has hosted one of the most prestigious open-air opera seasons in the world, attracting opera enthusiasts and tourists from every corner of the globe.
The Festival, created on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, thanks to the initiative of the Veronese tenor Giovanni Zenatello, has grown over time to become an international cultural reference point, with a tradition that combines the excellence of opera music with the unparalleled beauty of one of the most fascinating Roman amphitheaters.
In 1913, the Festival was inaugurated with an extraordinary production of Aida, Verdi's masterpiece, which saw the debut in the Arena of a new scenographic style that revolutionized opera theater, with three-dimensional sets and a spectacular staging that captivated the international audience. The triumph of the premiere, with a cosmopolitan crowd of enthusiasts and celebrities such as Giacomo Puccini, Arrigo Boito, Pietro Mascagni and Franz Kafka, marked the beginning of a tradition that has lasted for over a century.
The Opera Season: An Unmissable Experience of Music and Beauty
With the beginning of summer, Verona transforms into the ideal stage to experience the magic of Opera. From June 12 to September 12, the audience will have the opportunity to attend 50 unmissable evenings, including 5 operas and 3 gala nights. The opening will feature a tribute to the great Giuseppe Verdi with La Traviata, followed by Aida and Nabucco in new productions by Stefano Podda and the Aida by Franco Zeffirelli, along with other productions loved by the audience, performed by great international opera artists.
