Uncover Verona’s Defining Features
Verona is, first and foremost, popular as it’s the setting that inspired Shakespeare in creating the eternal love story of Romeo and Juliet. But the beautiful buildings that have remained almost intact undoubtedly contribute to the city’s charm and popularity. Verona’s spectacular architecture is crowned by the imposing, magnificent amphitheater – the Arena. It has remained unchanged, which makes it possible for up to 25,000 spectators to participate in memorable performances during the one and only Opera Festival in Verona.
Soak in the Vibe of the City
Indeed, something that you shouldn’t miss when in Verona is relishing an opera performance in the majestic Arena. The vibe of a life performance on a summer night in the Arena is unparalleled. You’ll feel as if you’re taking part in an ancient Roman spectacle. In the days of the old Roman Empire, the Arena would host 30,000 spectators, who came from all over Europe. That hasn’t changed today either, as millions of tourists from around the world choose to live this one of a kind experience.
