Tours are at nine, 10, 11 and maybe 12. Unfortunately they are apparently all in Italian even though the guide speaks English. The place looks like it used to be very lovely but now it is kind of rundown. We were not allowed to go near the stage or backstage which I think would’ve been fun. It is not expensive so it’s still worth it to go and see but we thought it could’ve been a lot better.

My first visit to a teatro big as this one and I’m fascinated. We tool a guided tour (6.5 eur/person) and the guideance was bilingual (Italian and English). I definitelly want to experience an opera in this place.

Majestic, impressive, quite different than your usual theatre, a unique warmer color.
Baroque art in all its mastery again.
Would love to catch a representation in this amazing building.

Very beautiful old theater. The only missing point is that they don't have a bar or a restaurant, where you can have a drink in the pause.

I had a mid day guided tour as part of a French and Italian group. However the English speaking guide joined and I had a one to one experience. She was wonderful and full of knowledge about The Bellini Theatre.
Thank you so much 🙏 Michael.

It is no doubt one of the most unique opera buildings in the world, combined with its symbolism of staging Aida the first time.

Great Opera theater with impressive external and internal architecture and decoration.

Friendly personal, good acoustics, comfortable seats.

Not even expensive, from 60 to 90 euro per central seat, and only 5 euro for a Prosecco at the bar.

Highly recommended! 👌👍
