We attended a performance prepared expressly for young students - from what we could tell ages 6-12. What a magnificient way of introducing youngsters to the many ways of Mozart - from his lighter works to a chorus singing from his Requieum. If you're ever in Palermo check out this magnificient building and what they offer. You will not be...

This theatre was in a central location & a nice landmark to go by when walking around Palermo. The area in front is great for locals to gather for outdoor shows, etc. There are also some street stands set up at night, right by the road (although it was a huge turnoff when the overwhelming smell of urine wafted by...)

During our short tour we were able to stand at the back of the royal box and to watch a little of rehearsals for the ballet Don Quixotte (the Italian spelling).

The painted dome is particularly beautiful. Do see an opera or ballet there if you can. It is easy to book online before your visit. Productions / soloist are not of top international quality...
