Summary
The monumental sets that normally fill the vast amphitheater stage have been replaced by dynamic, 3D images broadcast on huge LED screens, recreating a Sicilian village or a Fellini-esque film backlot.Distancing rules meant that stagehands moving sets had to be limited in the cramped backstage in the open-air Roman-era amphitheater, setting in motion a reimagining of the 98th Verona Arena Opera Festival. For many in the crowd, just seeing live theater was a treat, and the new technology a new element to absorb.“Even being used to the big sets of the Arena, it is still very beautiful,” said Guia Veronese, a regular at the Arena whose 8-year-old son was singing in the Pagliacci boys’ choir.
