Teatro di San Carlo Review

The oldest and most beautiful theater in Europe. Worth a visit. Also the spruce coffee that can be accessed both from inside the theater and from outside deserves it.

We attended the lyrical Opera of "Fidelio" in this amazing venue. From box seats, the view was amazing! The feeling of the marble stair cases, the velvet drapes, the rich textures, all add to the experience of the venue and the show itself. This place should be in your to do list and hopefully you'll be in town during the season for Opera.

It is a great glance. It is full of history. It's "impressive"

It is worth visiting at least once. Very beautifull

Very nice theatre. Visitors should go on their mini fabulous tour in the theatre. Check for their schedules

Majestic, baroque, imposing. Truly a jewel. Absolutely to do the guided tour.

One of the most prestigious theaters not only in Italy but in Europe and among the oldest. Beautiful, well maintained, hosts performances of opera, prose and classical ballets with the most famous names in the world, to attend one of them is a privilege as well as an indescribable emotion. I did it.

Real pearl of the opera house, excellent acoustics, guided tour not to be missed

The words are needless . The longest running opera in the world. It takes your breath away and you have to be there ...

It is one of the most beautiful theaters in the world

The most beautiful theater I've ever seen. Perfect acoustics and atmosphere that oozes history. I highly recommend to get into it at least once in life, to possibly follow a show! Highly recommend!

The oldest and most beautiful opera house in the world

Beautiful theater. Opera "the straw hat of Florence" exceptional. Good performers and orchestra, beautiful scenography and choreography.

Abbiamo da poco effettuato la visita guidata al teatro San Carlo, con il famosissimo passaggio segreto non visitabile da tantissimi anni, un ringraziamento alla guida Antonella, che ci ha trasferito oltre le nozioni storiche del luogo, un'enfasi e tanta emozione.
Complimenti

The lyric theater
most beautiful in the world, with the best acoustics

Interested in a guided tour, after paying the ticket we were told that because of the rehearsals the theater was dark.
It was not easy to get a refund

In addition to billboards of exceptional quality, the theater is a remarkable architectural work that arouses great admiration

The place is really to see! Almost as beautiful as La Scala in Milan. And the price is 10euros.

Only worry, the guide in French is only on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Very beautiful old theater with many balcony seats. We still got tickets for a ballet and sat with kids in the top row. Very nice experience!

Visit in English by a real passionate very interesting. Very impressive not to be missed

First we were guided to visit him beautiful the guide was in Italian but he did not speak very fast and he understood a lot and then we went to see Ahino Arteta who agreed that he was acting and it was spectacular

The theater is really nice. The orchestra is great. The soloists were unfortunately only average (La Boheme). Broken lamps in the toilet were also not nice.
Still definitely worth a visit.

Very nice theatre with great history. Tour guide speaks both English and Italian. She even let us visit the booth on the first floor.

Beautiful theater.
However, entry costs 9 to see only the theater with a guided tour in Italian, repeated in English, of only 15 minutes.
We were not allowed to visit the upper floor and the other rooms.
At the box office it was written that the visit had a duration of 40 minutes and on the site the same.

Took a short tour of the oldest theater in Europe. Beautiful atmosphere. Tour was short, but informative. Only 7 euro for about half hour. I checked out ticket prices for a show and very reasonably priced seats.

From the balcony of the 5th floor, it is not possible to read the display, covered by the valance,
on the other hand we see the dust accumulated on the lights and drapery drapes.
For the rest, wonderful !!

A jewel, really exciting. Very good Rossella, our guide.

There is not much to say that has not already been said: one of the most beautiful, most famous, most "sound" theaters in the world

There are no words. Visiting the interiors without a representation is however suggestive.

I thank Carlo di Borbone. WONDERFUL!!!
Going back after 35 years was beautiful and exciting!

All to see, even if you don't like opera, visit it ... nice experience.

after the fire of 1816 rebuilt 2500 spectators excellent acoustic horseshoe there was the king ferdinando 1

Terrific tour with excellent guide and fabulous place to see and learn the history.

Guided tours of the San Carlo theater in Naples. Price 6 euros. Check schedules

The theater of Naples. The oldest in Naples and throughout Italy. To say beautiful is an understatement. Place in an enchanting point of beautiful Naples. A few meters between Piazza Municipio and Piazza del Plebiscito. The interior is then a fairy tale. One of the many riches of us Neapolitans.

We were out of breath, from the beauty of the theater

One of the most beautiful Italian theaters in the world

Attending a play in this beautiful and impressive theater is a beautiful experience.
Good service both in the bar and in the foyer.

Beautiful, majestic, full of history, art ... a must see in Naples. The excellent guide! Ticket value 5 euros

The most beautiful opera house in the world, as well as the oldest in Europe dates from 1731. The court theater can be reached directly from the Royal Palace. Excellent acoustics make this place of music an unmissable place. A memorable Wagnerian evening: Die Walkuere is a work worthy of such magnificence.

Superb one of the most beautiful theaters in the world

A great place that makes an amazing impression. A must see, and it would be even better to see a show here :)

The oldest, continuously operating opera stage in the world. Impressive interior, guided tours (both English and Italian).

It's simy amazing, especially for opera lovers, but not only.

The theater is impressive! I was unpleasantly surprised by the price increase :( the guide tells you interestingly, but it does it first for the Italian group and then for the English one - such a waste of time;)

Well what must be said the San Carlo is always the San Carlo

The most beautiful classic opera house in the world

Beautiful, in Bocca al lupo for the opening on Sunday

Next to the Umbero Primo gallery there is this beautiful theater, with a guide you can rediscover all the history, visit above and below, inside the cabins, at that time already with a structure that made a better audio quality upwards

I was at the San Carlo with a group of friends to see Carmen on 18.12.15, all very well the show was very nice except the arrangement of my seat in the second gallery, 25 side behind, that is placed on the chair a little higher of the three chairs positioned in front. What can I say I did not see a tube, and to see me it lengthened me a little. I was disappointed with my first time at the San Carlo and wondered if the head of the theater had ever sat in the position assigned to me and what he could see. From my I can say I paid 45.00 and I was not satisfied and I would not go back there before having seen where to sit well. To put it shortly I felt robbed and those places should not be sold.

Thanks Francesco

We bought tickets for our anniversary to see Carmen. The box seats we were given resulted in us not being able to see ANYTHING. This is not an exaggeration, from our seats, we could not see any part of the stage or orchestra pit. We went back to the box office to see if we could exchange / upgrade but were told that we would have to buy new tickets and no refund would be given.

The venue itself was absolutely lovely, but ask very clearly if you will be able to see the stage before purchasing a ticket - this was 90 wasted.

A nice visit.
Possibly improved with the rear stage vision
