for an opera fan such as myself, it's a real treat to visit the roman amphitheatre in verona in northern italy — which since 1913, has hosted a summer opera festival. but it's with some trepidation that i come here, because like many, i'm wondering how live opera performances are going to survive the coronavirus crisis. the arena's general manager and artistic director, cecilia gasdia, has invited me to come and see for myself how she and her team are all pulling together to make this year's festival work.
