Teatro Massimo
Palermo's monumental opera house can be experienced through a performance or a guided interior visit. The auditorium and Royal Box reveal the scale behind its grand Piazza Verdi facade.
Even without a performance, a guided visit puts you inside the 19th-century theater rather than leaving you at its broad staircase. The auditorium, Royal Box lounge and foyer make its civic ambition tangible; the Pompeian hall adds a quieter architectural contrast.
