Giovanni Zenatello and the Opera in Arena:
a great Veronese story
Copyright © by Silvano Dalla Valentina. All rights reserved - Site created by FLAZIO EXPERIENCE
A great story of passion connects the Arena of Verona to the choices of a young Veronese, who migrates to America to become famous. And returns to stage, on August 10, 1913, the first Opera in the Arena: AIDA!
These are the contents of the elegant History of Opera in the Arena and of the Tenor Giovanni Zenatello, conducted with professional Artists.
THE CONTENTS OF THE SHOW
This pleasant and elegant Conversation Concert is conducted by a passionate Actor, an expert Maestro pianist, and two professional Singers. The story is about a young opera singer from Verona who, at the end of the 1800s, follows his passion and migrates to America, where he becomes famous. Then he puts ideas, passion, and money at the service of his city.
The Arena di Verona Opera Festival was born, in fact, on August 10, 1913, when the famous Veronese tenor Giovanni Zenatello, entirely at his own expense, staged in the Arena the most spectacular of Verdi's Operas: Aida, made even more grandiose by the spaces of the Roman amphitheater dating back to the 1st century AD.
But the story and foresight of Zenatello do not end here: there are many things to tell and listen to. Like the discovery of the great Maria Callas, who also lived in Verona.
A unique opportunity to learn about this passionate and exciting story, which can be paired with an “Aperitif” or a “Dinner”
