TEATRO SAN CARLO
Lyric theater with perfect acoustics and six levels of boxes, among the most famous in the world.
One of the most famous lyric theatres in the world, with perfect acoustics, its construction precedes that of the Scala in Milan. Commissioned by King Charles of Bourbon to the architect Medrano, it was inaugurated on November 4, 1737 after only 7 months of work. Devastated by fire in 1816, the building was rebuilt by Antonio Niccolini, who also designed the neoclassical façade. The horseshoe-shaped interior has six levels of dressing rooms and is enriched with stuccoes and gilded bas-reliefs, as well as a huge painting on the ceiling.
