Hala says
The 1st-century Roman amphitheatre stages a summer opera season (June–September) in its original tiered seating, with a festival capacity of roughly 13,000 to 15,000 and the stage rebuilt each year. Train from Desenzano del Garda (35 min) or direct from Milan (1h 10). Wear closed shoes for the stone steps, and bring a cushion.
