In this beautiful theater I feel like home. Every year I look forward to the program of the opera season, to which I have subscribed for over 20 years, without neglecting the prose performances.
The acoustics are excellent. The relaxing environment. Every year the same lovers of the bel canto meet each other in the gallery and they exchange comments and emotions regarding the works. It creates an almost familiar atmosphere and friendship. Thanks also to the beauty of the theater and those who take care of it.
I do not appreciate this recent mania to modernize the works at all. I think we must respect more what the great masters have written, put into music and set. But, I like it anyway. Music is always beautiful
