Verona Arena (Arena di Verona)
This enormous Ancient Roman theatre dates back 2,000 years, is
the third-largest surviving theatre in the world, and is Italy's
largest opera theatre. The exterior may be crumbling, but it only
adds to the character and authenticity of the place. The very fact
that this theatre is still fully functional after 2,000 years and
has withstood a devastating earthquake makes it an attraction not
to be missed while on holiday in Verona. In recent times, the
Verona Arena has played host to popular music artists such as The
Who, Kiss, Pearl Jam, Muse, Elton John and Tina Turner. Seating up
to 15,000 people, the best time to visit the Arena is during the
lyrical season, in the summer, when operas take place inside this
ancient theatre on balmy summer nights.
