Blood will be spilled again in the arena of the Roman Colosseum

A new multimedia show, Sangue e Arena (Cro), is being launched within the walls of Rome's main landmark."The Arena"), which tells the story of the very first gladiator fight. This was reported by The Bobr Times.

Italians have used modern technology to create a multimedia show about the gladiatorial games that took place in 80 BC to celebrate the completion of the Colosseum. Special lighting, holograms, and enhanced visual and sound effects projected onto a 17-meter-long canvas help bring to life the thrilling and often bloody games that were a favorite of the Roman Emperor Titus. Gladiator combat, animal fights, and naval battles on a submerged stage—all of this unfolded in the Colosseum nearly two thousand years ago and will now be reimagined in a modern spectacle.

According to Alfonsino Russo, director of the Rome Archaeological Park, the Colosseum arena will once again fulfill its original role as a venue for entertainment and performances. The show will allow spectators to experience the emotions of ancient Romans. A virtual auditorium with 170 seats is located at the bottom of the amphitheater, where senators and high-ranking members of Roman society once sat, says Russo.

The show runs every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until October 27, 2018. Three 30-minute performances are scheduled daily, each in Italian and English. Showtimes are at 9:30 PM, 10:30 PM, and 11:30 PM. Children under 6 are not admitted. Tickets cost €25.
