Dress casually but nicely for evening performances, and bring a light jacket as it tends to be chilly in this mountain town.

Only some seats are accessible to wheelchair users.

Though Sferisterio Opera Festival is less famous than festivals in Verona or the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, tickets can sell out quickly.

The piazza outside the Sferisterio is lined with cafés, perfect for a drink or snack before the performance.
