Years of Opera<br />
A language of love, opera is Italy’s modus operandi for<br />
storytelling, bringing together dramatic flair, humour, music,<br />
staging, costume, and movement. This year, in the world's<br />
largest amphitheatre, opera celebrates its 100th year.<br />
The Arena di Verona is a Roman architectural giant with impeccable<br />
acoustics. This grand work of open-air mastery, which once held<br />
30,000 people, has been hosting its great annual summer opera<br />
festival for 100 years. It began as a celebration, to commemorate the<br />
centenary of Giuseppe Verdi, arguably Italy’s most gifted composer.<br />
This year, from 16th June to 9th September <strong>2023</strong>, the prestigious<br />
opera festival will exhibit a special programme like you’ve never<br />
seen before, kicking off with the grand opening weekend where a<br />
brand new production of Verdi’s Aida will be unveiled. In just three<br />
months, visitors to Verona will also be able to enjoy 50 unrepeatable<br />
performances that unite the finest Italian operas, and that are<br />
being directed and produced by leading luminaries of the stage. Top<br />
performers, symphony orchestras, and choruses from across Italy’s<br />
opera houses, such as Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, will be playing a role<br />
in this extravagant event.<br />
