Opera<br />
Verona<br />
The opportunity to experience a live operatic performance in Italy<br />
is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Opera originated in Italy at the<br />
end of the 16th century and was founded by a group of Florentine<br />
intellectuals who became known as the Camerata. They wanted<br />
to combine music and theatre to be like Greek drama. Opera has<br />
become a two-sided musical art form. On one hand, it is sombre<br />
touching on death and lost love. On the other, it’s playful and light<br />
with a dash of dramatic talent.<br />
Discover an electric atmosphere at Italy’s famous summer festival<br />
of opera. Taking place in the romantic and ancient city of Verona,<br />
within the world's second largest amphitheatre after Rome’s<br />
impressive Colosseum, it is more than just the acoustics that sing.<br />
Great Operas like Verdi’s Aida and Bizet’s Carmen grace the stage<br />
each year. The Verona Opera Festival is celebrating its 100th<br />
anniversary in <strong>2023</strong> – an event not to be missed!<br />
At <strong>Citalia</strong> we can help you to find tickets to performances by Italy’s<br />
legendary composers such as Verdi, Puccini and Rossini. We can<br />
also arrange access to exclusive opera festivals held across Italy,<br />
throughout the year.<br />
Are you ready to enjoy a night at the opera? Close your eyes and be<br />
transported on a journey through time as you get lost in the music.<br />
Open up your heart and feel the power that the atmosphere has<br />
driving your emotions. The full programme of <strong>2023</strong> performances<br />
is available on the website but we've highlighted five extraordinary<br />
