A magical place worth visiting even if you do not like opera. In that case you may go for a guided tour which will show you the theatre and tell you all about the way it was built, who performed there and so on!

The Teatro has a nice piazza in front of it were one can sit and relax. There are also a number of good coffee shops in the area and a pedestrianized street.

Good diversion from a daily work schedule. Great culture experience for a visiting American - opera was outstanding!

I have been to two operas here and it is a great theater. My husband and I plan on attending many mo and the ballet next month. It is a must do in Catania. Remember to try the bars around the plaza too.

We managed to get tickets for a gallery box only hours before the performance of a Rossini Opera. 50Euros per person seems very reasonable after London prices! It is a beautiful theatre that hosts internationally known artists and popular operas - a lovely experience.
