A New Old Opera House
Recently, the Neapolitan’s San Carlo was reopened after renovations. What a lovely little gem. I’ve pulled some pics off of La Republica to see just what I’m talking about.
Donizetti composed 16 operas for this venue included Lucia di Lammermoor. Verdi had an orchestra pit added to better suite his works, and wrote Alzira, Luisa Miller, and Un ballo in maschera for this theater. Click on the photos for a larger view.
I was there last year and it was really exciting
