Teatro San Bartolomeo, Opera house in historic center, Naples, Italy.
Teatro San Bartolomeo stands at Via San Bartolomeo 6, featuring architectural elements characteristic of 17th-century Italian theater construction methods.
The theater opened its doors in 1683 and remained Naples' primary performance venue until the Teatro di San Carlo replaced it in 1737.
Many composers, including Alessandro Scarlatti, presented their works at this theater, contributing to Naples' reputation as an important center of opera.
The theater contained seating for 3,000 people and hosted regular performances until structural modifications altered its original configuration.
Following its closure as a theater, the building underwent conversion into a church, marking a transformation in its function within Naples society.
