Built by the architect, Matteo Pertsch in 1801, the Verdi Theatre underwent a major renovation in 1997, which brought it back to its former splendour. They say an evening spent at the Verdi listening to its music is an absolute must. But even if the music is not to your taste the theatre building is still worth a visit; the neo-classical decor outside the theatre is obviously inspired by La Scala in Milan. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious musical venues in Italy and in the world, with opera, symphony concerts, and ballet.
