Theater Arena di Verona
Piazza Bra, 1, 37121 Verona VR, ItalyIn the center of Piazza Bra is the Roman Amphitheater built in the first half of the first century AD, during a period that marked the end of the Augustian Empire and the beginning of Claudius. It is one of the largest amphitheater in Italy; Its elliptical shape produces perfect sound from any standing point and allows it to accommodate a large audience. This is also the place to witness the mortal battles of the Roman gladiators
The round façade of the building was originally composed of white and pink limestone from Valpolicella, but after the great earthquake of 1117 it almost completely destroyed the outer ring of the structure, except for the so-called "ala". (wing), the stone is quarried for reuse in other buildings. However, it has impressed medieval visitors to the city, one of whom considers it a maze, with no way in. or go out.
The first interventions to change from the function of the arena to an opera venue began during the Renaissance. Several active performances were later mounted in the building during the 1850s, thanks to its outstanding acoustics.
In 1913, active performances in the arena began in earnest due to the enthusiasm and initiative of the Italian opera artist Jac Zenatello and the theater Ottone Rovato. The first production of the 20th century here was by Giuseppe Verdi's Aida Orchestra to mark the birth of Verdi 100 years ago in 1813. Musical inventors such as Puccini and Mascagni were in attendance. Since then, summer opera performances have been mounted continuously at the arena, except in 1915, 1818 and 1940, when Europe was contested at war.
In modern times, at least four products (sometimes up to six) are mounted each year from June to August. During the winter months, local opera and ballet companies perform at the Philharmonic Theatre.
Every year more than 500,000 visitors see works of famous operas. Once capable of holding 20,000 customers per show (currently capped at 15,000 for safety reasons), the arena has been filled with many of the world's most famous opera singers. In the post-World War II era, they have included Giuseppe Di Stefano, Maria Callas, Tito Gobbi and Renata Tebaldi among others.
Operas in the Area di Verona theater did not use any microphones or speakers until a sound reinforcement system was installed in 2011.
