Verona

Wednesday 11 - Monday 16 August 2010

The Summer Opera Festival at the Roman Arena in Verona, is famous for its elaborate productions which take full advantage of the beautiful setting and excellent acoustics of the wonderful arena. Although going to the opera in Verona has become quite a tourist attraction, there is no compromise in musical standards. Singers and conductors of a very high calibre and an extremely fine orchestra are engaged for these performances.


We are offering the opportunity to see three operas of your choice from reserved seats,


All of the operas are Franco Zeffirelli productions  

Bizet: Carmen
============
Puccini: Turandot
============
Verdi: Aida
========== 
Verdi: Il Trovatore
==========
There will be a guided walking tour of Verona with a local guide as well as trips
to Mantua and Padua, also with guided tours.   
Staying in the 3 star Hotel De’Capuleti in the centre of Verona, about ten minutes walk from the Arena, gives one a chance to explore this wonderful city at leisure. Many of the famous monuments, churches, museums and galleries are within walking distance. Accommodation will be “Bed & Breakfast” in the hotel and there will be three organised meals in restaurants.
