Massimo Bellini Opera House (Teatro Massimo Bellini) Tours and Activities
20 Reviews
Widely acclaimed as one of Italy’s most magnificent opera houses, the grand Teatro Massimo Bellini is a dazzling tribute to its namesake, 19th-century Catania-born composer Vincenzo Bellini, and opened its doors in 1890 with a performance of Bellini’s masterpiece ‘Norma’. Today, Bellini’s works feature largely among the theater’s annual roster of operas, concerts and recitals, and performances in the 1,200-seat auditorium regularly sell out, with summer concerts even spilling over into the adjoining Bellini Square.
Even if you can’t make it to an evening concert, Teatro Massimo Bellini is worth a visit and it’s impossible not to be impressed by its architectural prowess. The inspired creation of architect Carlo Sada, the theater’s imposing façade is a striking example of Sicilian Baroque style, while the opulent interiors include an ornate marble foyer, plush red velvet seating and ceiling murals painted by Ernesto Bellandi, featuring scenes from Bellini’s most popular operas.

Skip the morning heat and join us for a relaxing 3hr walk the backstreets of Catania city center. Your Catanese guide will walk you around her favorite food spots to try the traditional street food, such as the baked cipollina, the horse meatballs, some tasty fish recipe and finally ends with the refreshing granita. This is a off the beaten path walking tour. You will step into places you would hardly find on your own such as the secret lava tunnel situated downtown! This is the ideal tour for adventure travelers who want to discover the real local culture and avoid touristy stuff!
The Catanese street food consists of snacks served in deli shops and eaten by hands. This tour is perfect for adventure eaters, not for picky ones :) On this tour you will have the chance to try the most popular local street food: horse meat! You'll get quality and quantity! Not only food! We will also talk about history, traditions and daily habits, discussing both lights and shadows of living in Sicily.
