Teatro Massimo
The biggest opera house in Italy, the magnificent neoclassical Teatro Massimo is a must-see. Its historical importance aside, fans of The Godfather will recognise the mustard-yellow theatre from the final acts of the trilogy. Throughout the summer season, jazz concerts, cinema and dance recitals get booked up well in advance, so if you want to ogle the ornate, gilded interior, get ahead and book before your trip.
