About

Italy honors its UNESCO Heritage at the Arena di Verona: an unprecedented show featuring two large-scale sets across the Arena and Piazza Bra, which will be broadcast worldwide via a live Rai1 production.

On one side, a celebration of music with opera scenes from the most famous scores, featuring stars of opera, pop, and rock sharing the stage with the Arena’s artistic and technical ensembles.

On the other, great Italian cuisine, with some of the world's most awarded chefs paying tribute to a culinary tradition that has become universal heritage: a grand dinner will be staged in Piazza Bra during the live broadcast, amidst choreographies and live musical performances.

A celebration which, following the ceremonies held two years ago marking the inclusion of the practice of Opera singing in Italy in UNESCO’s lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage, will support the nomination of the classical Neapolitan song and will bring 100 UNESCO delegates from around the world to Verona.

The event, organized by Fondazione Arena di Verona, is produced in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Sport.
