Review of Teatro dell'Opera di Roma

Splendid 1800's theater only entering it generates...

Splendid 1800's theater only entering it generates a great emotion. There are also wonderful Bohemian crystal chandeliers, the one in the center of the theater seems to be the largest in Europe. As for the shows, I was able to attend several ballets and operas that have always turned out to go beyond my expectations. Classic titles are offered but the representations are always in an original key. The cost of an armchair in the stalls is around 120, for the central boxes 130. Both from the stalls and from the central boxes you can enjoy excellent visibility thanks to the optimal dimensions of the theater: not too big, not small. It is very convenient to walk to the metro or Termini station in 3 minutes. Adjacent to via Nazionale there are good and cheap car parks to leave the car. The important thing is that it is located in the restricted traffic area! Therefore it can be reached by car only when the gates are turned off, under penalty of rather high fines. I have never needed to use a taxi but at the end of the show there are always a large number of them passing right in front of the theater. The only small flaw is the internal bar: exquisite staff but the offer of drinks and snacks is very limited. What can I say, it really deserves more than a visit!
