Traveler reviews
Camila SB
★★★★★a year agoVery spacious, good acoustics and reasonable prices at the Caffè inside! The lyrics appear on top of the stage so you can also follow together, really nice. Loved watching opera for the first time in life there ☺️ Buying tickets at the theater is a bit less expensive than online.
SATOSHI MATSUMOTO (Sato)
★★★★★8 months agoYellow seats, you'll see only 15-20 percent of shows. You cannot see the central part of stage. I kindly recommend to buy green, purple, orange zones.
