You will live like royalty in Naples. On the impressive Piazza del Plebiscito, you will find the Palazzo Reale, former residence of the Kings of Savoy, as well as the magnificent Galleria Umberto I, whose wrought glass ceiling rivals its Milanese counterpart. History lovers will of course visit the wonderful ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, but they can also admire the Villa Poppaea, designed by Nero before the eruption of Vesuvius in the 1st century AD. From Castel Sant’Elmo, perched on a hill, the view is nothing short of unforgettable. With this sublime view of Vesuvius and the islands of Capri and Ischia, it is easy to understand why the Bay of Naples is considered one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
In the legendary Teatro di San Carlo, you will meet an immense empress. Turandot, the fabulous heroine of Puccini’s final opera, is presented here in a thrilling production by Vasily Barkhatov, who restores the humanity of the characters in this lyrical tale set in the ancient imperial court of China. Under the direction of Vincenzo Milletari, the vocal cast brings together seasoned Puccini singers: Anna Pirozzi as Turandot, Brian Jagde as Calaf and the delightful Pretty Yende as Liù.
