Arena Opera Festival in Verona Summer 2023
Season 100 of Opera in Arena comes one hundred and ten years after the first Festival, which saw its seasons interrupted by two World Wars and more recently, by the pandemic. The Festival will therefore be inaugurated with an eagerly awaited new production of Aida, the opera that has come to symbolise the amphitheatre. This will be followed by seven other of the most popular operas, as historically staged, which, with all the powerful grandeur and ingenuity needed to face such an immense stage, have become milestones in theatrical style the world over.
As well as the queen of the Arena's operas, the seven works being performed in the Arena are Verdi’s Nabucco, Rigoletto and La Traviata, Bizet’s Carmen, Puccini’s Tosca and Madama Butterfly, and Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. This colossal production endeavour, unprecedented for the Arena’s artistic, technical and administrative teams, who will be working to bring the set designs of creative geniuses of the calibre of Franco Zeffirelli and Hugo de Ana to the stage, together with a tribute to the great history of the Arena, represented by Gianfranco de Bosio.
