Paganini Paradise premieres at the Arena di Verona

Paganini Paradise. Superlive Immersive Concert premiered at the Arena di Verona on 18 August 2026, as part of the 103rd Arena di Verona Opera Festival. Conceived and directed by Marco Balich, the production was co-produced with Fondazione Arena di Verona, with KARMACHINA leading the artistic direction and video content, alongside creative directors Stefania Opipari and Claudio Sbragion.

Across three acts, the concert moves from light to darkness, from the heavenly to the infernal, and finally from the human soul into the chaos of the universe. Niccolò Paganini’s virtuosic writing sits beside pages by Pachelbel, Albinoni, Handel, Tartini, FaurĂ©, and Barber, performed by the Orchestra dell’Arena di Verona under conductor Enrico Fagone, with violinist Giovanni Andrea Zanon, cellist Ettore Pagano, and flautist Federico Altare. KARMACHINA’s video content merges the live performance with high-definition visual storytelling, carrying classical heritage into a contemporary, multisensory experience.
