I’ve been to many opera theatres around the world, but this was my the worst experience. I was trying to buy the ticket online and to get the good seat many times, but the website failed.

Above all, literally, don’t forget to look up, to appreciate its magnific ceiling!
In summer, check the Opera’s website for special open-air events and adjusted performance times.
