This is a magical Italian opera house with a lushly appointed interior. There was an arson attack here in the 90s and the opera house has since been rebuilt and modernized. However the interior respects the original construction of the building. If you are not lucky enough to go to a performance I suggest the opera house tour. It runs in English and Italian. I suggest checking their website to see when the tour is offered--often enough but not every day. On the day I was there it was offered at 1 and 5 in the afternoon. The tour is done in both languages pretty much at the same time. It takes you into the lobby and then gives you a tour of the auditorium. You will enjoy the tour immensely. It lasts about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately we did not had the opportunity in visiting inside.
Locate in the new side of town and just at one block from Palace Hotel
The external appearance of this Teatro Petruzzelli is great and been kept well maintained.

I was fortunate to see Il Barbiere di Siviglia at this opera house. It is truly gorgeous, lots of gold, red velvet and marble in the interior, very lush. The opera house burned down in the early '90s and was totally rebuilt. I sat in a box seat, that had seating for 6 people. The front row of seats in each box has typical opera style seats secured to the floor and quite comfortable. The second row of seats in each box, however, has these high backed bar stools, that are not secured to the floor, and extremely uncomfortable. The three of us in the second row of the box could barely enjoy the show due to the seats.

This is the 4th largest opera house in Italy. Beautiful interior, but uncomfortable seats unless you are on the floor or in a box.
I've seen opera in New York and London, but the singing and audience reactions here (we saw Tosca) blow them away. It's very interesting to watch the locals, who may be wearing slacks and a polo or a suit and tie/dress.
Tickets are not expensive 15 euros got us to the cheap seats; I think the most expensive was 45 euros.

We booked to see a ballet one night in June and we had mixed feelings about the venue, although mainly good. On the plus side it is a beautiful building, fairly new despite appearances due to a relatively recent rebuild, and the stage is spacious and the acoustics remarkably good. On the minus side, the seats at the front of any section seem to have their line of sight interrupted by a bar running in front of them. We got the cheapest seats, at the very top, so expected this, but I got the impression (open to correction) that the front row of other sections suffered the same problem. However, the seats are comfy and if you don't sit in the front row of any section then you should have a terrific performance. I was surprised on the Sunday night we went to find the place was only about half full. I am very curious about why that was, as the performance we saw was great and certainly well worth the twenty quid tickets, booked from the UK. Go and see for yourself if you're visiting Bari.

Is it possible to buy a ticket for an opera without a tour as our time is limited?
