We had an English tour of the Teatro Massimo on a Tuesday right before noon. We were fortunate since they were practicing for the opera Orphee et Eurydice while our tour was going on. We were able to watch a portion from the back of the theater and then we were taken up to the President's box to take in more of the practice. The acoustics were fabulous. Such a nice small intimate theater - compared to the opera houses in the US. Too bad we are leaving before the opera starts later in February.
Very special, worth the tour. It's only 25 minutes but it gives you a real look inside one of Europe's largest opera houses.
We looked around the Theatre. The people said it is third biggest theater of Europe. It is indeed fantastic outside looking. But when We bought a show ticket and got inside. It is a little bit disappointed. We can not easily watch the show, angle problem. The show is not interesting a little boring.
我们很幸运买到了Rigoletto表演的票,所以没有参与旅行。表演超赞,剧场的氛围很棒。建筑很宏伟。我们在表演开始前拍了些室内的照片。只有一个很小的吧台,厕所前排队的人很多——但这里这么富有历史气息,氛围和演员又都这么棒,所以这些小事算不上什么。我们在靠墙边的包厢里。这个晚上太美好了,我会永远记在心里。
我们在经过很多小时之后在这欣赏到了一场非常精彩的演出。这里只需要8欧元,非常值得,我们在这欣赏了半个小时的意大利文演出。不过这里不允许室内拍摄。这的陈列展非常有趣。
I visited Teatro massimo back in 2012 with my family (because of the godfather) and we really liked it, the building is impressive...especially the two lion statues at the entrance...we took some amazing pictures. I would love to watch a theatre piece in there.I would recommend anyone visiting Palermo to go there.
We were able to attend a noon-time concert with piano soloists and also an opera in the evening. The particular opera we saw had a great deal of dancing in it. Most enjoyable.
While the opera house is stupendous and the singing and orchestra was wonderful, I personally did not like the production one bit. We saw Orpheus and Eurydice, by Gluck, but it was in modern dress, and did not really work for me. Orfeo by Cocteau is in modern dress and works fine, but modern dance, and modern dress for Gluck, Yuck.
We went on a short guided tour, 40 minutes, and really enjoyed it. The opera house is magnificent, a sight to behold. The tours are in different languages so it's a good idea to book one in advance.
装修很漂亮,还有服装展。这里有英语导游,可以带着你四处参观,但是他们也会破坏这里的音乐,艺术和老故事营造的神秘气氛。你还可以在皇家座位上观看彩排。是个不错的回忆。
