| "We had a truly fantastic time in Verona and Venice
- so many things to recall. Everything went very smoothly
and I kept up the surprises of what we were doing etc
the whole time. The hotels were both very good in quality
and location. Wonderful, different cities. I was thrilled
with the seats for the opera - both evenings, and am so
glad we did the pre-opera for La Boheme." |

|
| Verona offers an enchanting backdrop to the magnificently
staged opera festival which takes place here every summer
and the Roman amphitheatre or ‘Arena’ inspires
producers such such as Franco Zeffirelli to lavish heights.
The 2008 season sees the return of Denis Krief’s
acclaimed production of Nabucco, Zefirelli’s
Carmen, a new ‘Aida’ as well as Tosca,
Rigoletto and, most appropriately, Romeo and Juliet.

|
| There can be few pleasanter ways to spend an evening
as the audience gathers in the Piazzas to sip 'prosecco'
before taking their seats inside the 'Arena'. After the
performance, many visitors go on to have a late supper
in the 'trattorias' which line the tiny streets nearby
or return to their hotels at Lake Garda. The 'Arena' opera
festival can be enjoyed as part of a weekend break or
a longer visit to Venice and the Veneto area or Lake Garda.
The city is very accessible as British Airways fly direct
to Verona from Gatwick and Ryan Air also fly to nearby
Treviso and Brescia and easyJet to Venice.

Unlike online booking services where tickets are only
booked by category, K&N offers a personal service
whereby clients can select exact seat numbers and location
within the Arena itself. Contact: info@knassoc.com
Our staff can also advise on restaurant bookings and other
local information and book 4 star hotels in the centre
of Verona, just a few minutes walk from the Arena as well
as Verona's beautiful churches, excellent shops and restaurants.
