Before you go
Three things to check before you buy.
The details are on each venue's page. Here is what applies everywhere.
When it starts
Most open-air venues only start once it is dark enough for the stage lights. In Verona the opera starts at 21:30 or 21:15 in June, at 21:15 in July and at 21:00 from 1 August.
Start times and sunset at every venueIf it rains
Every venue handles rain differently. In Verona they wait. If a performance is stopped after the first act, there is no refund.
Rain rules comparedWhat is free
Several big concerts cost nothing, for example the Summer Night Concert at Schönbrunn in Vienna and the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago.
