About the Event
This experience is designed specifically for those who want to experience the show in an immersive way, passing 'behind the scenes' and thus discovering both the excitement that is felt backstage and the history of the theater and the city through a never‐before‐seen perspective.
An exclusive journey in places not accessible to the public, reserved each evening for a few guests who will be able to witness the birth of an Arena production, from the positioning of the sets to the moment of putting on costumes, from the ritual of 'hair and makeup' to the final stage, in which the protagonists warm up their voices before making their entrance on stage.
After watching singers, musicians, choristers, extras, stagehands and technical staff prepare for the performance up close, guests will also be able to stop in a reserved area for complimentary drinks and a snack at the delicious buffet. The reserved area with the buffet and the bar are also open during the break for a refreshment and something to eat.

Arena di Verona
The Arena di Verona is the third largest Roman amphitheatre still standing. Built around 30 AD, the Arena is also among the best-preserved amphitheatres of the period. Its gigantic dimensions (140 meters long and 100 meters wide), and seating for over 30,000 spectators, ensure it dominates the northern part of Piazza Bra. Excellent acoustics and a fabulous location make it an ideal venue for large-scale opera performances. The monument was re-established as a theatre during the Renaissance, and in 1913 the tradition of opera at the Arena di Verona began with a production of Giuseppe Verdi's 'Aida'.
