The 2026 edition of Arena per Tutti includes 26 accessible evenings for people with sensory and intellectual disabilities. Seven of these evenings include the opportunity to book a multi-sensory behind the scenes tour of the Arena di Verona Opera Festival.
These tours are led by stage crew and production staff—the very people who bring each performance to life, down to the smallest detail.
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.
There are three workshops dedicated to singing at Teatro Filarmonico, during which some singers from the Fondazione Arena Chorus and a pianist will demonstrate how the diaphragm is used to control the voice and the ribcage to propagate sound, enabling the audience to use their senses to understand how the intensity of the voice is modulated to make it stronger and richer in nuances.
Indeed, they can literally touch the singers with their hands to perceive the movements and vibrations of their bodies, allowing them to feel the music.
