The Teatro di San Carlo, known simply as Teatro San Carlo, is an opera house in Naples, as well as one of the most famous and prestigious in the world.
It is among the oldest closed opera houses in Europe and the world still active, having been founded in 1737.
It can accommodate 1386 spectators and has a large audience, five orders of horseshoe-shaped boxes plus a large royal stage, a gallery and a stage. Given its size, structure and antiquity, it was a model for the subsequent theaters of Europe.
Overlooking the homonymous street and, laterally, on Piazza Trieste and Trento, the theater, in line with the other great architectural works of the period, such as the great Bourbon palaces, was the symbol of a Naples that remarked on its status as a great European capital.
