History forms fantastic overlapping patterns in the Italian city of Verona, where the merely old bumps up against the truly ancient. This affectionate documentary takes place in the city's massive amphitheatre, which will turn 2,000 in 2030.

You needn't be an opera lover to appreciate this ancient ampitheatre's backstage drama, the mind-boggling complexity and magnitude of the production that the filmmakers capture.

Through all the human and technical drama, Verdi's glorious music shines through.
