Teatro di San Carlo Review

Incomparable beauty. Excellent acoustics. Finally, air conditioning

What to say, I think it is the most beautiful theater in the world.

Wonderful theater, of an indescribable beauty, to visit.

Charm history in the center of Naples
Phantasmagoric

A visit is necessary and will repay the waiting and costs.

This place captivates. A mandatory stop on the map of Naples.

Magnificent experience and excellent shows. Comfortable seats, all clean (including bathrooms). Experience to be redone if already done or even to do absolutely.

First theater in the world. Year 1737. Stage of the art. Very beautifull.

Saying marvelous is an understatement, for its antiquity and beauty it is certainly the first theater in Italy and one of the most beautiful in Europe, and therefore in the world.

Long live Naples and its cultural riches. The first closed theater in the world 1737 ...... long live the south

Built in 1737 by the will of Charles of Bourbon, the first king of Naples of this dynasty, it is the oldest theater in the world.
Rebuilt after a fire in 1816 in the neoclassical style, it was and is the reference point of music in Europe.
Here the first of many works by composers such as Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti and director of the theater were also unveiled, was Gioacchino Rossini.

The interiors are manicured, the chairs are elegant, the acoustics are excellent.
Every work represented there takes on a very special charm.
Guided tours are possible to discover this wonderful theater with very good and prepared guides.
The production of this theater is very prolific with numerous events on the bill, both opera, ballet, and concerts.

In my opinion, the visit to Naples must include a day in the theater.

Art, history and architecture merge. You breathe the air of the glories of the past.

The guided tour allows you to see the beautiful theater even without attending a show. Visit of some stages, the stalls and the royal box, accompanied by historical explanations. The theater is really beautiful. Worth the visit.

Breathtaking theater. Prices to watch a show are not for everyone.

Truly it is the most beautiful theater in the world !!!

One of the ancient and largest oldstyle opera theatre in the world. Incredible location for a cultural night based on opera, ballet and concert. Amazing place to visit.

The location of the accommodation is perfect. Elegant building, very nice studio furniture. They leave the services to be desired; in particular the beautiful but not working shower with hot water that comes and goes and is unusable. In the bathroom the radiator for which you are cold does not work. The whole building would need maintenance

Spectacular place, the guided tour is well worth the 9 euros spent. A praise to the guide Rossella for his competence and availability.

The most beautiful theater seen by me in Italy, located in the center of the Neapolitan city, with a lot of staff dedicated to making you perfect; I have been on a stage and I advise not to sit in the seats behind; perfect sound. An enchantment to be experienced at least once in everyone's life.

It's long and glorious history of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, named in honor of San Carlo Borromeo, the Holy One of Charles III of Bourbon, who strongly wanted the building. The theater was inaugurated in 1737, on November 4, the day of the Sovereign's name day. Carlo lll building the theater had launched and won an authentic challenge: Naples was again the capital of a Kingdom and the San Carlo helped make the city a cultural reference of international value. On the podium and on the stage of the San Carlo performed the most prestigious conductors and the greatest opera singers of the time. The theater is located next to the Royal Palace and the Umberto Gallery, in a splendid building with important decorations. Inside, it is absolutely worth mentioning the room that has an area of 26 meters with 184 boxes, in addition to the real one. The huge semicircle stage measures 33 meters. The main stages are decorated with delicate bas-reliefs and the royal stage is decorated with a luxurious red cloth with gold lilies. The large ceiling is embellished, in the center by a painting by Cammarano depicting Apollo and Minerva. The theater has also experienced some period of financial and organizational difficulties but has always been able to recover by returning to being a great capital of the world of opera. Finally: the San Carlo has been called the most beautiful theater in the world: will it be true? We do not know, but we close with the great Stendhal, who wrote: "There is nothing in all of Europe that even comes close to this theater, but it gives a clue."

Currently April 2015 is in the repair phase. Nothing very impressive.

If you are in Naples and want to see its magical side, you must visit this theater. The price of the guided tour is 10 euros, but if you are young under 30, the ticket costs half. The guide is very prepared and manages to convey his passion making even the most skeptical of visitors excited. The theater can only be visited with a guide.

It is an emblem, for my city, the pivot of many high-profile activities, rich in history and charm, the oldest and first in Europe is not a record. Culture does not need to be classified, but to know so much.

Although tickets for the performances themselves are hard to come by in these special times, it is still possible to purchase tickets for a guided tour of the opera's various rooms and the lavish hall.

Despite countless wars, bombs and earthquakes, the main house still stands in all its splendor as it was created in the 18th century.

A guided tour takes about 35 min. We were so lucky that we were allowed to hear the orchestra rehearse the Magic Flute, which dares us to say that a performance at the opera must be worth all the money.
For the test, the hooks sounded good!

The Teatro di San Carlo is magnificent, I cannot find fault with this place. First of all the staff is always prepared and courteous, then the corridors are splendid and very clean and finally the theater is huge and leaves you speechless. I went to see Swan Lake by Pyotr Il'i Tchaikovsky and after this experience I always want to go back. Recommended for all people of all tastes, you won't regret it, I'm sure.

Beautiful room inside. Fortunately there is a lift to the highest balconies.

It's pure magic an atmosphere different from any other place ... inimitable !!!

I've seen other opera houses more beautiful and better cared for, like the one in Venice

Beautiful opera house. Excellent reception service and nice billboard

Beautiful theater. Too bad the facade is still under renovation, but the interior is breathtaking. The guided tour was very interesting and gave us the opportunity to know its history. It would be fantastic to see some works. Recommended.

Theater of great class, but the masks are not up to par

The most beautiful theater in Europe. The structure is kept in an excellent manner and the billboard is always full of quality events

Fantastic, THE Italian theater par excellence. As soon as you see La Traviata, perfect acoustics, a stone's throw from Piazza Plebiscito. Unmissable.

Historical and fascinating theater of Naples. I recommend a guided tour to discover the secrets and curiosities. Beautiful

Beautiful, I went with my girlfriend to see the nutcracker and it was spectacular, only flaw is that the seats behind the balconies come at the same price as those in front ... while not seeing the same way ... could lower them not having a perfect view ..

I have seen several museums but this seemed to me one of the most beautiful, a museum that over time has not suffered damage and therefore has remained intact. beautiful the royal stage and the finishing touches of all the other stages. Good general visibility. I have not been able to attend shows for which I cannot express opinions on acoustics. The presence of elevators allows the use of the stages also for people with disabilities or with walking problems. Of value the pastry bar in the theater where at the time of the visit you were a local person who played on the piano in the center of the room (he occasionally goes there as a hobby) an ex artist who cheered us with arias by different authors of classical music and songs from the Neapolitan and Italian classical repertoire. We went back several times in our short stay.

Superb experience in one of the most beautiful theaters in the world. Guide skills and nice. Visiting the theater during the rehearsal of an opera was even more exciting. Experience not to be missed!

... the eyes are dazzled, the soul kidnapped! (Cit. Stendhal)

Already the theater is a show! Then go there with 100 students who follow the opera with participation and ask you to come back ... what more can you expect.

Historical theater, the first in Europe, beautiful!

First time in my life, hope you could have your first time too. Impossible to describe. Seven stars are not enough.

Very beautifull! He also fascinated the three teenagers following us. Thanks to our prepared and passionate guide.

Enchanting theater, well restored, where the former role of the city of Naples is reflected

At first glance it is hard to understand. I'm sorry I couldn't put it inside.

Because the theater has a dreamy I know, it makes you live in a fairytale atmosphere

The oldest and most beautiful theater in the world.

The oldest opera house in Europe. Inaugurated before the Scala of Milan and the Fenice of Venice. If you like opera and / or ballet you cannot miss such an experience

One can not miss one of the most beautiful and famous theaters in Europe. Everyone was kind and professional. But the guided tour is a bit superficial and rapid.

It will leave you speechless. unique place. Entrance fee a bit 'altino.onestamente only for a visit but it is worth to see one of the most famous theaters in the world.

It really leaves you speechless because of its magnificence and its history that the guide was able to tell in a fresh and interesting way. You can't leave Naples without having first visited it!

Visiting the San Carlo is like taking a trip back in time, the most beautiful theater ever seen in the world!

Beautiful! Make it appreciate sound and stage machine and it would be a gem!

The guide who led the visit is very nice, the theater is very beautiful and full of history
