Verona Arena

About

The place where ancient Roman gladiators once shed blood has now become the stage for lyrical opera. The sound of song echoing within the stone-built circular structure brushes past cold stone walls left behind after the hot sun has passed. Filled with thirty thousand spectators, this place seems still alive even amid the swaying darkness. Within air that seems to hold centuries of voices etched into the stone, an opera's singing burns like a single flame. Even as light brushes across the stone and spreads faintly, this place still stands at the edge of time.
