Last Saturday, excitedly, we ventured out to the Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma to enjoy a performance of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. What an experience. Not only experiencing a fabulous performance of one of the most hauntingly beautiful operas but also being in an amazing opera theatre. It certainly does not have the external impact of the Sydney Opera House but it does have a big advantage internally. It is breathtaking both acoustically and visually.
We had good seats and were captivated by the ambience and performance. Here are a few pics.

The total elevated areas around the theatre are "boxes" composed of mostly six seats. Sounds good, but if you bought only two tickets seating in the boxes is on a first come first served basis. Three seats at the front of the box and three seats behind which have a restricted view
