Opera at the Arena. The Aida opera's magnificent shows in Verona simply is a great attraction for the millions that flock to the city during opera season, the scenery at the show is quite dramatic, at the beginning of the show when the spotlight goes off the whole venue gets lit up by candles, it's indescribable in words and it goes very much with the tradition of the first opera performance that was staged here when there existed no electricity. This setting of the new amidst the old is truly spectacular and the acoustics in the arena are truly amazing, performers don't use mike's as they are clearly heard even from the top of the arena. So a opera night at the arena in Verona shouldn't be missed during the summer months, even a non-opera fan would be left mesmerized.
