What’s on in 2025 with Arena per Tutti
Percorsi multisensoriali
As part of the 2025 Arena per Tutti program, 16 of the 26 accessible performances will also offer the option to book multisensory backstage tours—completely free of charge.
During these tours, people with disabilities and their companions will have the opportunity to explore sets, costumes, and stage props—guided by the stage crew and the skilled artisans who brought the shows to life in Fondazione Arena’s workshops.
Each tour is thoughtfully designed to meet a range of needs, making the Festival more inclusive for everyone.
When multisensory tours are not scheduled before the performance, audience members can still enter the Arena early to enjoy its unique atmosphere. They are free to explore the stalls, take in the setting, and engage with the opera using accessible digital materials on their smartphones.
Accessibility services and digital materials
As part of the Arena per Tutti project, a range of services and digital materials has been developed to meet the needs of people with sensory and intellectual disabilities, offering a truly inclusive opera experience.
The following services and digital materials are currently available in Italian, English, and German for the operas Aida, La Traviata, Rigoletto, Nabucco, Carmen, Turandot, and Il Barbiere di Siviglia, with plans to expand the offering in the coming seasons:
- Accessible digital opera booklets
- Accessible trailers
- Easy-to-Read opera guides
- Subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
- Audio descriptions for blind and visually impaired people
These tools allow every audience member to fully engage with the experience, both in person and online.
