Bold, luminous, revolutionary. After breaking every record, the ‘crystal’ Aida designed by Stefano Poda is back to amaze us all in 2026. Give in to the charms of its transparencies, interplay of light and breathtaking costumes!

Aida Ed. Stefano Poda

Arena di Verona

The world’s most loved and performed opera, Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece, will open the 103rd Arena di Verona Opera Festival in a new production which, for the first time in Arena history, will bring one of the French capital’s most iconic institutions to Verona: the Moulin Rouge.

La Traviata

The emotions of ‘Va, pensiero’ as you have never experienced them before. Come and marvel at Nabucco, the choral drama par excellence, in a poetic and visionary production designed by Stefano Poda.

Nabucco

Like a painting brought to life: within a transparent structure, the vibrant Paris of the nineteenth century comes to life, forming the backdrop of an unforgettable story of love and friendship. The most recent Arena production of La Bohème, designed by Alfonso Signorini, returns to the Arena di Verona for four nights.

La Bohème

Amidst golden pyramids and imposing scenery, Franco Zeffirelli's luxurious and fantastic Egypt is back at the Arena with Aida. In this majestic production, a legend is back for seven performances for the 2026 Festival.

Aida Ed. Franco Zeffirelli

Giacomo Puccini's Turandot blows out a hundred candles. It’s time to celebrate its first century of life with the fairytale setting born from the imagination of Franco Zeffirelli: a record-breaking Arena production, with costumes created by the Oscar-winning designer, Emi Wada.

Turandot

Falstaff

Teatro dell'Opera di Roma

Following her radiant turn in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette—which garnered raves for “high notes that spun like liquid gold … Sierra touched the operatic firmament” (The New York Times)—superstar soprano Nadine Sierra takes on another alluring French heroine, the irresistible title character of Massenet’s passionate drama. Leading tenor Matthew Polenzani is her idealistic lover, the Chevalier des Grieux, with rising-star baritone Andrzej Filończyk as her stalwart cousin, Lescaut, in a breathtaking Belle Époque staging by director Laurent Pelly.
