Lonely Planet review

Italy's largest opera house, the opulent Teatro San Carlo is one of the world's premier venues. A six-tier arena in classical gold and red, it can seat up to 1000 people. The year-round programme is largely traditional; works by Wagner, Tchaikovsky and Verdi are reliable crowd pleasers. The theatre also showcases dance performances by its in-house ballet company.

Twenty-minute guided tours depart from the theatre's main entrance between and (excluding Aug) and are conducted in various languages, including English.
