DirectRooms.com - Verona Readies for 89th Opera Festival This June

2011-05-14

PHUKET, THAILAND, May 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Visitor numbers to the city of Verona are set to swell as culture vultures from all over Europe head to town to enjoy the delights of Verdi, Rossini, Puccini and more performed by the Verona Symphony Orchestra and others.

The backdrop to one of William Shakespeare's most famous stories, Verona provides a perfect location for such a memorable tourist event. With visitors from all over Italy and beyond heading to Verona to enjoy the festival, hotels in Verona Airport are expected to be in even higher demand than usual for the time of year.

The festival runs for over 2 months, commencing on 17th June and running through to 3rd September this year, meaning that the city will be bustling throughout this entire time. Concerts take place in the majestic Arena di Verona, a historic structure not dissimilar to a scaled-down version of Rome's Colosseum.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "This is one of the biggest cultural events in the Italian calendar and so it is not surprising that so many people head into town to enjoy the shows. Leading orchestras and opera singers are on show and the city's hotels are sure to be abuzz with people wanting somewhere convenient to stay like out by the airport. So our advice is to book a hotel well before arriving to avoid disappointment."
