Teatro Bellini, Opera house in central Palermo, Italy
Teatro Bellini features four tiers of boxes arranged in the traditional Italian theater style, with a perforated ceiling designed for superior acoustics.
The theater originated in 1676 when Marquis Ponzio Valguarnera transformed a warehouse into a performance space named Teatro dei Travaglini.
The Sicilian parliament renamed the theater after composer Vincenzo Bellini in 1848, recognizing his contributions to classical music and opera.
Located at Piazza Bellini in Palermo's historic district, the theater maintains a seating capacity of 274 guests across multiple levels.
The theater served as headquarters for Italy's first independent radio station during World War II before returning to its theatrical functions.
