Experts' Choice Award Teatro di San Carlo
What the experts agree on
Europe's most beautiful opera house with acoustics to match—this neoclassical masterpiece rivals Milan's La Scala and captures Naples' operatic soul. Dress up for a performance in its gilded splendor.
“Begun in 1737 by the Bourbons (who were great opera buffs) but rebuilt after a fire destroyed it in 1816, this is Italy’s largest opera house and one of Europe’s most prestigious.”
