The Teatro Massimo Bellini is an opera house located on Piazza Vincenzo Bellini in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. Named after the local-born composer Vincenzo Bellini, it was inaugurated on 31 May 1890 with a performance of the composer's masterwork, Norma. It seats 1,200.
The creation of what was to finally become the Teatro Massimo Bellini took almost two hundred years, beginning with discussions following the disastrous 1693 earthquake which completely destroyed Catania. The construction of a public theatre was discussed, and a foundation stone was finally laid in 1812.

A beautiful underrated theatre which is worth a visit if you're in Catania, especially if there is an opera or concert on.

Beautiful theatre. Very expensive. Therefore I bought tickets for the gallery. I don't like that 'poor folks' have to use a different entrance, in a dark side street, walking up the many stairs on a very ugly staircase.

The square is quiet and charming place to drink a coffee or take some bruschettas
