How to dress for the Arena?
The atmosphere is elegant. The performances all start just after sunset. So you will arrive in the blue hour of the evening when the Arena and the piazza start to glow in the twilight. Visitors are elegantly dressed for the ocassion. You will feel more comfortable if you can blend in and not feel out of place.
Visiting a classical performance in the Roman Amphitheater of Verona is a very emotional experience and you are sitting in the best seats. We recommend slightly elegant evening wear, gentlemen are well advised in having a jacket handy. We recommend an elegant dress to the ladies, but does not have to be a long dress. You are also well dressed in elegant trousers. You are not rejected if he comes without a tie and she wears flat shoes, by no means. But you may feel better if you can empathize and be confident with yourself.
Taking pictures in the Arena
Photography is permitted during breaks, but strictly prohibited during the performance. The photos may only be used privately, but may not be published or posted. Not even if no people can be seen on it. The laws are quite different here in Italy. You can read this on the internet under the heading “Panorama Freedom.”
