Watching opera in Verona in the Roman arena, under dark starry skies, with bats whirling above is beyond magical..

I would love it.

Maybe not the bats.

Does anyone know what the people in some sort of East Asian dress on stage with the flag procession are about ?

RafaistheKingofClay · 22/02/2026 20:03

Mongolians with their excellent coats

The bats are way above the arena. The whole setting is magical. The staging is superb and makes full use of the complexity of the arena (think hooded Traitors carrying flaming torches against darkened skies way up high behind the stage). Brilliant sound and two translation screens alongside the stage. Only downside is that if it rains, the orchestra rushes inside, leaving you sitting on cold stone seats waiting for it stop! All part of the experience!😁

Are they opera characters?

Opera characters. Verona arena is famed for putting on a two month season of world class opera during the summer

RafaistheKingofClay · 22/02/2026 20:19

That was the only thing I could come up with.

need the ice booth DJ back to liven things up.
