Teatro Filarmonico - 2026 Opera, Ballet, and Symphony Season
The winter opera, ballet, and symphony season of the Arena Foundation
About Filarmonico Season
The winter musical heart of Verona
The Teatro Filarmonico is the winter home of the Fondazione Arena di Verona: when the Roman amphitheater of the Arena closes its summer opera season, it is here, in the 18th-century hall designed by Francesco Galli Bibiena, that great music continues in the Scaliger city.
The 2026 Season
The 2026 program runs from January to December with a total of 42 evenings. The opera season offers repertoire titles and rarities: Mozart's Don Giovanni, Vivaldi's L'Olimpiade (at the Teatro Ristori), Verdi's Falstaff, Menotti's Amelia al ballo paired with Stravinsky's Jeu de cartes, and Puccini's La Bohème. The ballet closes the year with Swan Lake. The calendar is completed by the symphony season, with eight subscription concerts, and chamber music events.
A great Veronese institution
The Orchestra and Choir of the Fondazione Arena - among the most prestigious ensembles in Italy - are the protagonists of all productions. The Filarmonico season is a regular event for opera and classical music enthusiasts and an opportunity to discover a cultural Verona that lives well beyond the famous Arena festival of the summer.
