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'.
Antonio Vivaldi
Antonio Vivaldi went down in history as a creator of the instrumental concert genre and the father of orchestral music. He was born in Venice on the 4th of March 1678. Vivaldi was a weak and sickly child suffering from asthma, however could not stop him from devoting himself completely to music. His father, Giovanni Batista a professional violinist, taught his elder son Antonio to play the violin. With his father young Antonio met the best musicians of Venice of that time and gave concerts in local churches. He also worked as a violin teacher and later as a music director at the orphanage Ospedalle della Pieta. Meanwhile he composed concertos, sacred works and vocal music and in 1713 he achieved great recognition with his sacred choral music. Vivaldi got captivated by the world of opera and worked both as opera composer and impresario at the Teatro San Angelo. In 1717 he obtained a prestigious position by the prince court in Manua as a director of secular music and worked there until around 1720. During that time he composed his world-renowned masterpiece The Four Seasons. In the 1730's his career dwindled as his music became unfashionable and the great composer died in poverty. It took the world two centuries to rediscover and reevaluate Vivaldi’s music, as it was buried into oblivion after his death. In the early 20th century many previously unknown works were found and immediately captured the hearts of the music lovers.

Mauro Longo è stato veramente bello ed entusiasmante sia per la bravura dei concertisti ed in primo luogo di Zanon che le immagini che apparivano sullo schermo mentre si ascoltava la musica

Musikalisch sehr gut inziniert (5). Gestört haben uns die vielen Animationen, die doch sehr ablenken konnten. Die anschließende Abfahrt mit teilweise einspuriger Verkehrsführung (z.B. Parkhaus Arena) hat anscheinend viele Besucher veranlasst, die Veranstaltung früher zu verlassen, was dann doch gestört hat.

Die Vorstellung war wunderschön und ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Schade das sich ein paar wenige nicht an die Vorschrift gehalten haben und die ganze Zeit über mit dem Cellphone gefilmt haben. Das empfand ich als extrem störend. Respektlos den Künstlern gegenüber ist es auch schon kurz vor Ende aufzustehen und zu gehen… Man bleibt bis zum Schluss und gibt den gebührenden Applaus. Alles andere ist sehr egoistisch, respektlos und unkultiviert. Schade das man das zulässt.
