A photo doesn't really show the drama of thousands of tiny lights as the sky got dark and the moon rose.

In back of us was an old wall of arches that was dramatically lit. In front of us was a huge crowd with their little candles lit.
Everyone was given little candles to symbolize the only source of illumination in the 1800's when Aida was first performed in Verona's Arena Amphitheatre.
We went to get tickets to see Aida in the afternoon, and found ourselves among a crowd of 1500 that night!
