THE ARENA DI VERONA

The elliptical amphitheater on Piazza Brà, resembling Rome's Colosseum, dates from the 1st century A.D. Four arches of the "outer circle" and a complete "inner ring" still stand, which is rather remarkable because an earthquake hit this area in the 12th century. From mid-July to mid-August, it's the setting for an opera house, where more than 20,000 people are treated to Verdi and Mascagni. The acoustics are perfect, even after all these centuries, and performances can be conducted without microphones!. Attending an outdoor evening performance can be one of the highlights of your visit. In one season alone, you might be able to hear Macbeth, Madama Butterfly, Aïda, Carmen, Rigoletto, and Verdi's Requiem.
