Teatro Bellini, Opera house in central Naples, Italy
The Teatro Bellini features six tiers of box seats surrounding an oval floor, with interior decorations by Giovanni Ponticelli, Pasquale Di Criscito, and Vincenzo Paliotti.
Baron Nicola Lacapra Sabelli commissioned architect Carlo Sorgente to build the theater in 1864, but after a fire in 1869, a new structure opened nearby.
The theater carries the name of composer Vincenzo Bellini, who studied music in Naples during the 1820s and created numerous celebrated operas.
Located across from the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples on Via Conte di Ruvo, the theater maintains a capacity of 940 seats for performances.
Following decades as a movie theater and near demolition in the 1960s, artist Tato Russo led a group in 1986 to restore the venue to its former status.
