The spectacular setting of the Verona Arena, built in the 1st century AD in the very elegant Piazza Brà, this year too it hosts many musical events that attract both the Italian and the foreign public.
The tradition began in 1913, when the tenor Giovanni Zenatello thought of celebrating the centenary of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth by staging Aida in the imposing Arena. The exceptional acoustics of the amphitheater perfectly restored Verdi’s notes, and since then has been a success that is repeated every year.
Since then it has been a rise in the number of spectators and representations: operas, ballet shows, recitals but also concerts.
Events at Verona Arena
The programming runs from June to September, and is carefully planned to allow the viewing of more shows on subsequent days.
Not only classical music, in recent decades the Arena is also very popular with international rock stars such as Adèle, Paul McCartney, Sting, One Direction, Carlos Santana, REM, Eric Clapton, the Who and the Italian myths like Zucchero and Ligabue that they are just some of the big names that have held concerts in a scenario, that of the arena, extraordinary.
Important to know for the Arena and beyond
A music festival of this magnitude must certainly be supported, both culturally and economically and above all for our guests! For this reason AbanoRitz, in its constant activity of entertainment and cultural proximity – how not to mention the last concert of The Colors of Music in the World Festival held this month for the annual classical music program, and the Professional Voice Center for the help to professionals of voice and speech – particularly helps to facilitate participation in these events also in terms of economic savings. It does so first of all by giving the possibility of favoring reduced prices compared to those that would occur in Verona, from means of transport to housing. A short ride to the Arena allows our guests not to get behind the wheel and enjoy the ride comfortably without the stresses and parking charges. The advantage of the advantages? Surely that of being able to stay before and/or after the show to prepare for the big event and rest in total relaxation taking advantage of our benefits.
