Teatro di San Carlo Review

Fantastic room. Beautiful show attended. Highly recommended to visit once. It is handy to take seats in the middle, on the side it is sometimes difficult to see the whole show well.

Everything was beautiful! We had enough time to take photos during 40mins tour.

The Teatro Real de San Carlo, known as Teatro San Carlo is a traditional theater and opera house, located in Naples, Italy, has a neoclassical style building and is considered the oldest theater in Europe still in operation, was founded by Carlos III of Spain and was inaugurated on November 4, 1737, with an opera based on the life of the famous poet and playwright Metastasio.
At the time, this was the largest opera house in the world with 3,300 seats, the main hall of the Teatro de San Carlo was built in the shape of a horseshoe, typical of classic Italian theaters and its decoration gained intensity thanks to the red and gold that were dominant colors, on the ceiling there is an impressive painting of 500 square meters, dedicated to Apolo and Minerva.
The new theater was much admired for its architecture, gold decoration and blue upholstery, which was the official color of the Bourbons, due to its historical and cultural importance it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

A show ... When one thinks of the theater if one imagines it like this

The oldest theater in Europe, visiting it is a leap to the heart, not to be missed.

Historic luxurious theaters
English and Italian tours are held everyday.

The majesty of this place is fortunately still intact rasta today.

It is the oldest theatre still running. Last show time is 7 pm. Last show in english is 6 pm.

Visit very interesting. The only flaw: too many visitors allowed at the same time ..

It is "my" theater .... where I learned from my father to love music

Outstanding orchestra. I come from Rome to get excited.

The temple of opera. The most beautiful and oldest opera house in Europe.

Magnifico teatro, bellissimi spettacoli al centro di Napoli

Oldest concert house in Europe Wonderful theatre. Both to visit and to listen to a concert. Magnificent concert hall with a great acoustic. It is Reccomended to get a box on the upper floors of the hall, for 5 euro per person more, and therefore get a better view. Guided tours are often, but can get very crowded, and annoying, since other people talk, which can be heard very loudly. Great tour and concert. Reccomended.

A thrilling acoustics, famous in Naples, known throughout the world. I recommend seeing some shows because it's worth it

Superb, only by visiting it with the guide can you fully understand its value

Some doubts about management and admissions evaluations do not meet my expectations

It was exciting to enter the oldest theater in Europe for the first time and to think that it was played by famous artists!

It's worth a visit.
Great tour, very informative.

One of the oldest theaters in the world, Bellissimo. I saw two Ballets and I was always caught up to the end despite my ignorance.

An enchanting and eternal place, a total immersion in art and history.

Very nice theater, it is the first theater dedicated to the opera of Europe

Wonderful building and amazing orchestra. Very advisable.

Perfect acoustics. An equally magnificent orchestra .. The perfect Theater!

ITA: It is one of the oldest opera houses closed in Europe and the world still active, having been founded in 1737 and one of the most capacious theaters of the Italian peninsula. It can accommodate 1386 spectators. It is a sight for the sight and for the heart. It is exciting to see all that magnificence and harmony in a theater. And knowing his story between kings and queens really makes the heart beat. Go all to visit it.

The eighteenth-century Teatro San Carlo is a lyric theater in Naples and one of the most famous and important in the world. It is worth a visit and is also close to many other monuments such as the Galleria Umberto and the Maschio Angioino and also Via Toledo, one of the shopping streets of Naples. Worth a visit!

It is a feast for the eyes. Rich in history. The San Carlo theater is a must for those visiting the splendid city of Naples. Accompanied by very professional, competent and engaging guides, you can discover the architecture, history and secrets that characterize one of the oldest opera houses in Europe.

I watched Lo Schiaccianoci at the San Carlo theater and the experience was incredible.

The oldest European opera house (and therefore: the oldest opera house in the world)

In Naples for a few days, unfortunately we could only admire it with a guided tour and not in full of its functions. However, the great passion of the guide combined with a place that is magical, has meant that the path has become a continuous emotion. Recommended for those who want to immerse even for an hour in a unique atmosphere. The guided tours are at fixed times during the day, at a price all in all content.

Another magical and fascinating place of this incredible Naples. Very good, competent and nice guide.

The oldest in Italy and also the most beautiful is visited me

Very uncomfortable we were in the boxes in front of the stage stuck with strangers and elbowed to see

Magnificent ! We get lost even so it's huge! A real labyrinth!

The experience of knowing a place so beautiful so well preserve is magic !! Take the guide in French which is very nice !!

Little clean stages. Fluff and dust ...... a state of slight degradation

I only gave three stars because the ride was reduced compared to two years ago, the theater deserves 5.
Too bad it's already the second time I visit it and now having reduced the lap they don't even show the real stage anymore.
Bad decision by the manager, I insisted on being able to see it as the first time and I was silenced by the guide.
Such a poor visit is NOT worth the 9 of the Ticket ... very disappointed !!!

One of the Italian beauties taken care of and kept in excellent condition still used for the great classical music concerts a recommendation the tour of the visit do it with a tour guide

An extraordinary room, but the best box office staff, helped us a lot with a ticket problem that was a mistake of ours. From here we want to show our appreciation.
