Arena di Verona Opera Festival celebrates the event’s centenary at the 2023 season. For 100 years, the festival has offered an unprecedented programme with eight opera titles, four gala evenings and an extraordinary concert by the orchestra and choir of the Teatro alla Scala.

The 100th Opera Season in the Arena will include repeat performances in the historic amphitheatre of those that have been the most popular since the first event in 1913, with a total of 50 unrepeatable evenings in less than three months featuring: Aida, Carmen, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Rigoletto, La Traviata, Nabucco, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and five extraordinary evenings including the boundless dance of Roberto Bolle and Friends. There will also be three new shows featuring other stars including the debut of Juan Diego Florez, a special event dedicated to Placido Domingo, and the long-awaited return to Verona of Jonas Kaufmann.

In addition, the traditional opening weekend on 16-17 June will be a 28-hour-long non-stop event to celebrate the centenary.
