About this experience
At the heart of this excursion is my passion for opera and my desire to share with you the story of the legendary singer and the iconic open-air theater. It was here - at the Arena di Verona - that Maria Callas had an unforgettable debut, forever changing the opera world. I will immerse you in those incredible events. You will also see the singer's home, learn about her life, career, and the secrets of the opera festival.
What to Expect
You will see:
- Ancient amphitheater Arena di Verona - the heart of the opera festival. Discover the secrets of organizing this event and unique backstage facts.
- Maria Callas' House. Immerse yourself in the diva's personal life, see where she lived and found inspiration.
- Secret Corners of Verona. Walk through little-known places - Maria Callas' favorites. See the Academy Hotel, conservatory, music academy.
- Piazza Bra and a bar. Enjoy coffee at Callas' favorite place, where opera stars still gather.
We will discuss:
- Opera art as part of UNESCO heritage
- History of the opera festival in Verona
- Maria Callas' life and career
- Rules for attending the opera: tickets, dress code, etiquette at the open-air theater
And in the end, before we part ways, I promise not to sing - so as not to spoil your impression of the tour 🙂 But I will share the secret of which aria can win the hearts of the people of Verona - and it won't be Libiamo ne’lieti calici from “La Traviata”.
