Teatro di San Carlo is one of the world's oldest great opera theaters. Today its interior looks very spectacular. We visited the theater with a guided tour, which gave us the flavor of the theater's rich history, connected to some greatest names in musical culture. The tour was delivered in Italian and good English.

Went to see The Flying Dutchman on the 24th April which was wonderfully done. What impressed the most though was the opera house itself! Having visited many opera houses throughout the world, this one was the most elegant and much better than La Scala in Milan and the Royal Opera House in London. I would thoroughly recommend it!

Beautiful theatre but difficult to appreciate tour, as small group of tourists with about 50 Italian schoolchildren. Theatre guide did her best to explain separately in Italian and English but there were just too many of us to hear or see properly and a few people became bored and left early.

Very interesting - not so obvious but worth every minute. Lattest when you are in the middle of the theatre you understand why you are here!

Even if it was raining when we got there, tthe inside and outside of the Teatro are very nice. The Piazza nearby is also quite nice and offers very good views to the sea.
