We are flying into Venice on May 30th and we have a B&B booked until June 2nd...we were planning on going to Verona on the 2nd and sightseeing and then going down to Florence from the 2nd thru the 5th and then to Rome on the 5th thru the 10th. I just found out Bocelli, Carreras, Domingo are performing in Verona on June 1st for the Opera Centennial and in honor of Pavorati and tickets are still available. We don't want to miss a day in Venice though. If I was to try and extend our stay in Venice one extra day would we be able to take the train on Saturday and return after the concert by train? June 1st is also the start of the Bienale in Venice. I can change my dates in Florence and add a day and leave for Rome on the 6th. My main question is will the trains run from Verona to Venice after the concert? The concert is at 9pm I believe.

Unfortunately Trenitalia shows the last train on June 1 departing Verona at 22:29. You could catch an hour of the concert if you wanted. It is only a 15-20 minute walk to the train station from the arena. If it involves extending your stay in Venice, why not book a place in Verona for the night of June 1 instead? You could still spend most of the day in Venice if you wanted, then take the train to Verona in late afternoon.
