Fondazione Arena di Verona looks to its new century of great music and entertainment by presenting the seasons of the next two years. The year 2024 coincides with important anniversaries, not only for the history of the Arena: the first is the centenary of the death of Giacomo Puccini, the best-known and most represented opera composer in the world together with Verdi; slightly in advance of the exact anniversary, Fondazione Arena inaugurates the 101st Festival on Saturday 8 June with Turandot, paying homage to Puccini with his most spectacular and fairytale title in Franco Zeffirelli’s dream staging with Oscar Emi Wada’s costumes.
