Premium tickets

We have selected “Poltronissima Gold” tickets for our guests. These are numbered chairs with an upholstered backrest and an upholstered seat. The gold area offers the best visual and acoustic experience.
The seats in the Platinum section are usually not available. These are usually only by invitation, reserved for relatives of the actors, sponsors, and other guests of honor.
You can select the card category from the seating plan. Usually, the best places are then distributed. If you have a special request for a place, you can let us know and we will try to get the seats you want. We make sure that the places for your reservation are next to each other. However, if you visit in two or three then these seats will be assigned next to each other. The seats are always in the Gold area, which offers the best visual and acoustic experience.

Please be aware, that premium tickets with numbered seats for many of the performances will be sold out within a short time after the ticket sales start. Please make your plans early, so we can put our requests in early.

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 The photos may only be used privately, but may not be published or posted.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.”

Hotels

For your music tour we select 4-star or 5-star hotels that are within walking distance to the theater. Please select the preferred category when you send us your request. We will evaluate which hotels offer favorable conditions during the requested period. If you have a specific hotel in mind, then please let us know as well and we will check availability and price.

Hotel prices vary greatly in Italy. It depends very much of the expected and actual demand in the given period and the the booking situation at the time of your booking. The sooner you can decide, the better the price will be. It is the same with the tickets for the arena. Many events sell out within and hour after the ticket sales starts.
