This is a stunning theatre, the first one built in Europe in 1737 (before La Scala in Milan) and although it looks nothing from the outside the photos tell a very different story on the inside. Enjoy the grandeur when it's empty, concert tickets start from 500 and go up from there!

Teatro San Carlo is definitely a must if you are visiting Napoli. The tour guide around the theater is very interesting, it takes about 45 min and it starts in the foyer, goes though the audience, the boxes and the old king and queen boxes. The guide lady was super nice and explained things very clear. There is many tours during the day for a very cheap price and in many different languages! #suportthearts
Really worth taking the 30 minute tour to understand why this is the oldest and most beautiful theatre in Italy. Its 5 minutes from the Sorrento ferry terminal and a great start to a walkabout of Naples.
San Carlo is certainly the most beautiful theater all over the world. The oldest one as well. Rossini, Verdi, Donizetti - if these names mean something for you you should definitely visit this magic and unforgettable place. Unfortunately, there were no performances during our stay in Napoli however we decided to take a guided tour to feel the inner atmosphere of San Carlo at least and this was the best solution. We bought an Italian language tour and it was really amazing. It lasted about 45 min and during this trip we visited the main hall, boxes and foyers but also the royal box which was incredibly beautiful. Moreover, we were lucky to see a piece of rehearsal sitting inside the Royal box which gave us fantastic impressions. And I would like to thank our dearest guide for her emotional and bright story about San Carlo full of interesting details and hidden secrets. The ticket costs 9 euro and you can book it in advance on the official website of the theater. Basic languages are Italian and English. Other languages are available upon request. Hope next time we will be lucky to visit the full performance in San Carlo. A presto!
AMAZING PLACE! Great guided tours to see the inside of the place and understand its story.
“Teatro San Carlo” is the most ancient theater in the world still used! You can watch and listen exclusive operas, concerts and ballets but you can even buy a ticket for a tour of the theater, which is very interesting Becca use you will be able to see the theater empty and take very cool pictures! The guide will even explain you all about the theater and its history!
We booked tickets for April, and the show was cancelled due to the virus. I filled the refund form. After a while I sent emails which were all ignored (both by Vivaticket and the theatre). They finally answered my 6th email (after phone calls) and flat out refused to give a refund. They wrote the email using capital letters and in a way that I truly questioned someone with this attitude can work for a cultural establishment in any position (no signature of course). Historic place or not, this service is abysmal and at this point I dare say they are simply stealing money from people without doing any sort of service. I had many refund issues with hotels, airlines and other theatres and all were resolved in a civilized way except for this one.
Very nice theatre. Visitors should go on their mini fabulous tour in the theatre. Check for their schedules
