[Palermo, Italy] Massimo Theater, famous for The Godfather

#FreeHotelStay The third largest opera house after Vienna's Opera House and Paris' Palais Garnier Opera House is the Teatro Massimo in Sicily, famous for the Godfather movie. The stage is larger than the auditorium, and when Aida was performed there a real elephant appeared on stage. ・ It took 33 years to design it, and was designed by Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, an architect from Palermo. They are particular about using Sicilian materials for everything from the building materials to the interior. ・ Even if you don't have a chance to see a performance, you can take a look inside the theater, as they hold theater tours. Depending on the time, you can see the stage set moving, which was fun. I recommend it. Theater Tour Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-15:00 (last tour 14:30) Admission fee: 5 euros The performance calendar is also available on the official website.
