The 2027 program
What's New
The highlight of the season will be the return of ballet to the Arena after 34 years with Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. This new production by Fondazione Arena di Verona brings the performance to the very city where Shakespeare set the world's most famous love story. Full-length ballet performances have been missing from the Amphitheatre since 1993.
The Operas
Five opera productions featuring the return of recent hits in the sign of Verdi: La Traviata directed by Paul Curran, Nabucco directed by Stefano Poda, and Carmen in the sumptuous production by Franco Zeffirelli. Aida will return in a double version: the historical production by Gianfranco de Bosio, inspired by the 1913 premiere, and the "crystal" edition created for the centenary Festival by Stefano Poda.
Galas and Special Events
The Roberto Bolle and Friends gala, featuring the best of world dance in co-production with ARTEDANZA srl, will exceptionally have two dates.
The immersive concerts co-produced with Balich Wonder Studio also return: Viva Vivaldi, featuring the famous Four Seasons, and the brand-new Paganini Paradise debuting in 2026. These will be joined by Orff’s Carmina Burana, featuring a large orchestra, chorus, and children's choir. Opera star Jonas Kaufmann will also renew his bond with the Arena in a gala entirely dedicated to him.
