'I'm proud to announce my appearances at the 100th anniversary
summer season of the legendary Arena di Verona. Many of you know
that I took my first professional steps in Italy, and consider it
my second home. This is why participating in the anniversary summer
season at the Arena has a very special meaning for me. And it's
also my own small anniversary there because I debuted in Verona 10
years ago. This summer, I will open the festival in a new
production of Aida, and then will sing the Duke of Mantua in the
premiere of a new production of Rigoletto - it was always my dream
to sing this role in Italy. Hope to see you this summer in Verona,
please hurry as tickets sell out quickly. Finally, a special thanks
to Cecilia Gasdia and Stefano Trespidi, who gathered such a starry
roster for this summer; who break sales records every year, and
keep the amazingly high level at this magical venue. VIVA ITALIA,'

Founded in 1936, Arena di Verona Festival (Verona Arena
Festival) is a summer festival of opera in the city of Verona,
Italy.
Opera performances are given in Arena di Verona, an ancient
Roman amphitheater, which was capable of holding 30,000
spectators.
The first operas were performed in 1913 to mark the centenary of
Giuseppe Verdi and were produced by the tenor Giovanni Zenatello
and the theater impresario Ottone Rovato.
Their staging of Aida in the biggest open-air lyrical theater in
the world started a long tradition.
The 100th Arena di Verona Festival will take place in Verona
from June 16 to August 31, 2023.
