Thanks Underhill and gradyhost. It was the one in Verona I was trying to remember -- although the Rome one looks interesting!
I wish their opera season wasn't in the dead of summer though. I was hoping to catch something early September.
Thanks again!

Hello wliwl:
Actually the performances in Verona do not start until dusk which is around 9:15 pm. By then, things have cooled a bit, aided of course by any beverage you may have consumed in a restaurant in Piazza Bra before entering the Arena. Go for it! Gradyghost

But it is held in July-August.

It hasn't been totally updated for 2008, but it looks as though none of the open air venues goes on after 1st September.
