Riccardo Muti will reopen the Arena
in Verona for next year's festival which has been suspended this
year for the coronavirus, organisers said Monday.
Star conductor Muti will conduct a concert version of
Giuseppe Verdi's Aida for two extraordinary nights on June 19
and 22 2021, they said.
The concert will mark the 150th anniversary of the first
production of Aida at the Cairo Opera in 1871.
The announcement was made by Arena Foundation Superintendent
and Artistic Director Cecilia Gasdia.
