About
Hitre informacije: Velvet-clad boxes and a gilded ceiling create a tactile hush where applause can feel like a physical wave. Opera fans brag that the house has premiered landmark works by composers such as Verdi and Rossini, and the legendary acoustics let a whispered phrase reach the highest gallery.
Vrhunci: Opening night on 3 August 1778 featured Antonio Salieri's Europa riconosciuta, and the house went on to premiere works by Rossini, Bellini and Verdi, shaping European opera for centuries. Fans in the highest gallery, the loggione, remain notoriously vocal: they have been known to hiss a singer one minute and throw bouquets or shouts of bravo the next, the whole auditorium alive with red-velvet murmurs and golden box gossip.
Insider tips
- Dress smart casual if you plan to attend a performance, museum tours allow more relaxed clothing.
- Bring a compact camera, turn off flash and avoid tripods inside the museum and auditorium.
- Head to the upper tiers during a tour for the best full-auditorium photos and perspective.
- Book the earliest tour of the day on a weekday to dodge large guided groups and school visits.
