The opera company that stages
concerts and shows at Verona's ancient Roman arena is going to
be put into liquidation by the Verona Arena Foundation, ANSA
sources said on Thursday.
The move follows Wednesday's rejection by workers of a
cost-cutting agreement signed by the foundation and trade
unions.
Workers voted against accepting the deal, with 132 votes
against and 130 in favour.
Verona Mayor Flavio Tosi said that the next opera season
was not at risk on the way out of the meeting at which the
foundation decided to put the company into liquidation.
But he added that "the reckless decision of the workers
will entail the scrapping of all the jobs".
