Acerca de
Datos rápidos: One of Europe’s largest opera houses seats about 1,400 people beneath an airy dome and a frescoed ceiling that feels almost cinematic. You can still notice the giant Carrara marble staircase and ornate bronze reliefs that give the foyer a theatrical hush before performances.
Destacados: Walk into the auditorium and you’ll feel the air hum, the horseshoe-shaped tiers wrapping around roughly 1,400 crimson velvet seats gilded in gold leaf. A fun twist: filmmakers used the auditorium for the final scenes of The Godfather Part III in 1990, so you can spot the same red curtains and balcony angles from the film while looking up.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes; the grand marble staircase and floors can be slippery.
- Best photo spot is from the top of the main staircase facing the chandelier, so arrive early on tour to claim it.
- Flash photography and filming during performances are prohibited, take photos only on guided tours and be discreet.
- Skip last-minute stalls; book tours or performance tickets online in advance to avoid sold-out slots and long queues.
