Teatro Massimo Bellini

Fantastic symphony experience. Recommend getting tickets at the box office rather than online, better options. Beautiful and well maintained historic theater. Orchestra was fabulous and powerful with complex Mahler 5th. No breaks just like Mahler would expect.

Fantastic baroque theatre that maintains its 19th century charm. In places it it dated but the 4 stories of loggias are spectacular. The acoustics are fantastic. If you have a chance, also visit the upstairs room that is spectucularly decorated with gold colored plaster ceilings, ornaments and pillars!

Super friendly staff all round who are willing to chat and get to know you a bit so they can give you good recommendations around town. The place its self is beautiful and gives any opera house in London a run for its money, in fact I believe it outdoes all of them as this place is so understated and the small entrance way gives birth to an even greater spectacle. So much history here I highly recommend going on the tour which can be in English or Italian or both Thanks

Am amazing theatre, beautiful. Staff are very cordial too

Theatre Bellini is an amazing building! This classical building has been built to mark the Catania born composer Vincenzo Bellini. We couldn't see the inside sadly as there weren't any performances while we were visiting Catania in Sicily.

We were at a concert celebrating the anniversary of the opening of the theater in 1890. Puccini and Verdi - beautiful music in a beautiful place.

Wanted to buy a concert ticket but the website was down. You can go inquire it 2 hours at the entrance before the concert to see if there are any concert tickets left.

We took a NCL cruise from Venice to Portugal last year. One of the stops was Catania. We got off the ship and self guided our tour using google maps and my research. Lots of picturesque squares and buildings. We stopped at the opera house to look around. We did not have time to buy tickets to go inside but we enjoyed looking around.

Wow. Stunning. I saw the Nutcracker ballet and although the dancing wasn't as good as I expected the theatre itself was gorgeous and worth the ticket. Ushers were helpful in finding my seat even with the language barrier. Take note there is no bar for a refreshment or glass of wine at intermission but do take the time to walk around and explore the theater.
