The 2,000-year-old Arena di Verona is one of the largest and best preserved Roman construction of its kind, and with over 22,000 seats it is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular open-air venues of the world! With Il Trovatore, revered master of opera Franco Zeffirelli created a legendary scenery with groups of giant sized armored knights, a fortress turning into a luminous cathedral, an enormous choir, horses, breathtaking fights: “...his perhaps best arena production” (Opernglas).
