Arena di Verona
For the first time, two years in advance, the Fondazione Arena presents the programme for the 102nd Festival: 47 evenings from 13 June to 6 September 2025. The most recent Aida, Carmen according to Franco Zeffirelli, De Ana's elegant 2011 production of La Traviata , against a backdrop of belle époque tapestries and mirrors, Rigoletto and Carmina Burana will be back on stage. Two dates with Roberto Bolle and Friends are confirmed, as well as a special opera gala. The centrepiece of the season will be a major new staging of Nabucco, a choral drama and Arenian par excellence, which will open the Festival 2025 on two evenings.
The presentation of the 2024 and 2025 Festivals is the result of the joint efforts of the Fondazione Arena, the Municipality of Verona and the Office for the Protection of Architectural, Natural, and Artistic Heritages, taking into account the needs connected to the restoration and maintenance of the Amphitheatre, still underway thanks to the Art Bonus, and the extraordinary work required for the opening and closing events of the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. With great anticipation, the Arena di Verona looks forward to welcoming international audiences for its Opera Festival under the stars again in 2024 and 2025, in what is the most Italian venue on earth.
