Teatro dell'Opera di Roma

Beautiful building, and very elite environment. The balcony seats are good only if you are sitting in the first line, otherwise too tight and can't see the scene properly.

My wife and I recently attended the Rosso e il Nero ballet at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, and it was a truly unforgettable evening. From the moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the theater’s blend of historic elegance and artistic grandeur. The theater itself has a fascinating history, originally inaugurated in 1880 under the name Teatro Costanzi. Its neoclassical architecture, with lavish decorations and rich detailing, reflects the opulence of late 19th-century design. The theater has retained its majestic style while modernizing for today’s performances. The beautiful crystal chandelier and red velvet seats add a sense of old-world charm, making the experience feel like stepping back in time. The acoustics here are exceptional, and the ambiance only enhances the power of the performance. Watching Rosso e il Nero in such a setting was captivating. The orchestra was impeccable, bringing Tchaikovsky’s music to life with depth and emotion, while the dancers moved with precision and passion that left us in awe. If you’re considering a visit, I recommend arriving early to take in the architecture and elegance of the space. The staff is attentive, and there’s a small bar where you can enjoy a pre-show drink in the grand foyer. Whether you’re a fan of ballet, opera, or just historical theaters, the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma is a must-visit experience that will leave you with beautiful memories of Rome’s artistic heritage. A perfect place for an extraordinary night out!

Claudio Sgura was fantastic. But it's definitely not a must visit. Overpriced by much (I was at several operas in Europe). In total, nothing special..

Superb 19h century theatre; the box seats are best if you take the first row. Orchestra and conductor were lively on the score and Othello performance was laudable, with leads in fine form.

Operatav- Best restaurant in the city... on all aspects. Directly across from the Opera building. Looks like every other sit down location- but it's not... it's THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Even the employees... AWESOME!

It was our first time in Rome and we have the fortune to attend a show in this incredible theater. We saw La Bayadère, a story of eternal love, mystery, fate, vengeance, and justice. Everyone in that show was amazing; the dancers, the orchestra, the choreography… it was a must do experience! The theater is beautiful, there were multiple boxes in the back and top. The gallery has individual seats, a bit different compared to what the theater is in the States. I found it more spacious and a bit more comfortable. The ceiling is an art display, just like almost every basilica in Rome. It was definitely a great experience!

We had an amazing experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The ballet we watched was stunning. Interior is beautiful and well maintained!

Stunning! We were there to see the ballet *Il pipistrello*. Loved the performance, the orchestra, and the atmosphere. A must-visit!

We attended an opera dinner on our second night in Rome and had an absolutely wonderful time. We were seated in a small room within the Doria Pamphilj with a few other diners at other tables, and the service was fantastic. They were very attentive and made sure you had enough water and wine throughout the show. It's a multi course dinner where you pick either meat or fish entrees from the menu. The food was yummy but it honestly took a backseat to the performance. Francescoantonio, Paola, and Tei were incredible, I was so taken by the music, the voices, and the pure emotion of each piece.

Old world charm! When in Roma it was only right that we went to an opera! What a treat to see Othello on a warm summer night in Rome! The opera house still holds her old charm with the additions of modern touches. We will definitely check it out again when in Rome!

Rome is a city for operas, and we have enjoyed them in Rome on previous trips. But the best place to experience opera in Rome is at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. We attended a wonderful performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida at Teatro dell'Opera on our first Sunday in Rome this trip. The historic venue itself is well maintained, the seats quite comfortable for an opera in four acts, and the production was excellent, as were the principal singers and orchestra. Set design was enhanced by the use of digital imagery.

I will think about this tiramisu forever!! So delicious. We ate the pasta up with a few bites. Rabbit gnocchi wasn't crazy about but still tasty! Pesto was amazing and so was the octopus.

What a beautiful theatre! This place is just breathtaking. My husband and I visited Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma during our honeymoon. We wanted to do something different while in Rome and decided to get tickets for the opera Orfeo e Euridice. From the outside the Opera house looks like a normal building, but as soon as you walk in you are welcomed by a beautiful stair and very elegant decor and artwork. During the show, we were seating on a booth on the second level of the theatre. The view from our booth was amazing and it was honestly an unforgettable experience. The only thing that I wish I knew before coming here is how HOT the Teatro dell'opera is. We came here during winter and were all covered up but as soon as we were on our seats we were burning. As soon as the show was over, the staff was very quick to get people moving and out of the theatre. So I would recommend everyone to get here a few minutes before the show so you can really explore de theatre because you will probably not have enough time afterwards.

Spectacular and breathtaking. Seeing La Traviata performed in Rome was a bucket list item for me. The floor seats are plush and comfy. Acoustics are glorious- you can hear every pianissimo note sung from the stage. My only tip is to wear clothes that offer some flexibility- we went during the cold spell in Rome and got REALLY hot (read: very little air circulation). If you run warm, have layers you can remove and take advantage of buying a water bottle before you enter.

A really magnificent opera house with excellent acoustics where one can hear an Italian Opera sung the way it was meant to be sung. The design presentations are not exactly comparable to the Met in NYC but more than elaborate enough. The people of Rome pull out most of the stops when an opera is to be held. The street out front is cleaned, potted shrubs are added, the local police are present in dress uniforms, patrons arrived in their finest attire and a separate stopping point is set up on the street out front. The interior stuck me as somewhat La Scala like with a cubical like seating arrangements. And though may be struck dead on the streets of Milan for saying this, I thought the sound was much better Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma than at La Scala.

Just beautiful! We had balcony seats to the opera and enjoyed the view and opera . Only negative is one of the staff members (a gentleman )turned into Dr. Jeckell and was extremely rude when we were leaving. I rushed to sit at a bench just to change from y high heels to my flat shirt boots, because it was rainy and a little chilly outside . And he was rude and wanted me rushed out of the building . It took me less than two minutes to change my shoes and he made a face and stomped away. We paid a great amount of money for our balcony seats, and the rudeness was not appreciated. Other than that the venue was wonderful .
