25th June 09 Aida was due to start at 21.15 but a storm started at 20.00. It stopped raining in time for the arena gates to open at 22.00 the performance started before half the audience were seated and stopped minutes later as spots of rain started. After a few more attempts to perform the opera was cancelled. It should never have started but of course if they get the show on the road they do not make refunds. I am miffed to have lost 198 euros many others lost more. It is scandalous that they get away with this scam I would recomend avoiding Verona and seeing an opera at an indoor arena.
