The Essential Package includes tickets and two nights’ accommodation in a hotel of your chosen category with breakfast. The Superior Package adds a guided private city tour on foot and in your language, a pre-arranged gourmet dinner with drinks, and a typical Veronese aperitif near the theater before the performance. Upgrades to premium tickets, more central hotels, 4-star and 5-star as well as excursions to nearby Garda Lake can be added.
Verona is world famous for the Opera Festival in the Arena di Verona, which attracts millions of music lovers every summer. The Arena di Verona is the world’s largest open-air opera theatre with space for up to 22,000 spectators on the steps of the 45 rows of seats.
Verona is a city of music and opera, especially in summer. The Three Tenors Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and Josè Carreras were regulars in Verona. The Verona Festival started in 1913 with the performance of Aida on the occasion of Giuseppe Verdi’s 100th birthday. Opera lovers around the world dream of watching an opera on the marble steps of one of the best preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. A dream that you should experience at least once in your life. Not only operas are performed in the Arena di Verona, pop singers such as Elton John, Bob Dylan, Zucchero and Sting also gave concerts here.
Verona is a World Heritage Site for its urban structure and architecture. The historic city center is beautiful and can be explored on foot. It is like an open archeological site in-between the many beautiful Renaissance palaces. And yes, it is famous for the setting of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. Above all the beautiful sites is the Arena, a huge Roman amphitheater from the first century. The daily mean temperature between June and early September is 21C to 23C. This is perfect for an outdoor performance in the Arena. There are famous operas, concerts and ballet performances to chose from.
Every year we create exclusive music trips to Italy for friends of opera and ballet. Operas of the leading Italian composers Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini and Gioachino Rossini are favourite in the Arena. Enjoy the extraordinary atmosphere at the Roman amphitheatre in the heart of Verona in the summer months under the open sky. Please make your travel plans early and select a performance of interest. Because, if there are less than two months to go, the best tickets might be sold out, the hotels might have increased prices and things may become difficult. With our music tours you get the best seats, on upholstered chairs, together with a nice stay program in Verona.

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.”

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.
