Events calendar Verona

Every year, this open-air opera festival is held in the evocative setting of the Arena di Verona, the city's Roman amphitheater. An event not to be missed if you love opera singing! Four or five operas are usually performed over 40 days each year. The first edition of the festival dates back to 1913, the centenary of Verdi's birth, when Aida, one of his best-known operas, was performed.
