1www.noble-caledonia.co.ukA five night stay in Verona at the Hotel Indigo including two opera performances9th to 14th September 2026OPERA AT THE ARENAJoin us for five nights in Verona and experience the joy of listening to opera in the open air of the Verona Arena. The %u2018Arena di Verona%u2019 is a magnificent ancient Roman amphitheatre which was built to hold 30,000 spectators and is one of the best preserved structures of its kind. The first operas were performed at the arena in 1913 in celebration of the centenary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi. Musical luminaries such as Puccini and Mascagni were in attendance and so began a tradition which has launched the careers of many operatic singers. Since 1913, summer seasons of opera have been mounted continually at the arena, pausing only for wartime and the recent pandemic.During our visit we will enjoy two opera performances, Puccini%u2019s %u2018Turandot%u2019 and Verdi%u2019s %u2018La Traviata%u2019, both of which take place after dark. In addition to the two magnificent opera performances, we have included ample time to explore Verona, city of Romeo and Juliet, which is full of architecturally striking piazzas, churches and museums, evidence of its Roman and Medieval past. We will also enjoy a day on the shores of Lake Garda and a day spent in the viticulture district of Valpolicella
