The
original Palermo Opera House, Teatro
Massimo, opened in 1897 after almost 20
years of preparation, due to political
fighting, the death of the original
architects, cost over runs etc. The
theater was closed again in 1974 for a
complete restoration and reopened after
26 years. The long waiting time was well
worth it. The theatre is in fact a
wonderful avenue for classical
performances. From the front steps to
the foyer to the tiered boxes looking
out over the stalls, it is a pleasure to
enjoy this venue as much as it is
listening to the concerts that take
place here all year around.
