Earlier this year, Arena di Verona Opera Festival became a member of the CTA and is keen to encourage tour operators to celebrate the event’s centenary by putting it on their programmes for 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. Finally, for the first time in the Arena, there will be a symphonic concert by the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro alla Scala.

In addition, the traditional opening weekend 16-17 June will become a 28-hour-long non-stop event to celebrate the most seductive, fascinating, eclectic and long-lived spectacle ever created by human ingenuity: The Opera….. in the world’s most famous open-air theatre.

Tour operators are urged to add an evening or two of Opera at the Arena di Verona to their plans to give customers a beautiful experience.
