Welcome to Naples! This beautiful Mediterranean city dazzles with its contrasts. Known as ‘Spaccanapoli’, the historic centre of Naples is an enchanting maze of lively narrow streets. For a moment of tranquillity, visit the Church of Gesù Nuovo, a sublime example of Neapolitan Baroque, or the magnificent Cathedral of San Gennaro. From Castel Sant’Elmo, you can enjoy a splendid view of the city’s bay, certainly one of the most beautiful in the world. In the distance, you can see the characteristic silhouette of Vesuvius: the most courageous (although the climb is not particularly difficult) can walk around its smoking crater…
A trip to Naples would not be complete without a performance at the Teatro di San Carlo. Inaugurated on 4 November 1737, this opera house promises a spectacular evening. Presented in concert version, Aida is an absolute masterpiece from Verdi’s mature period. The passionate love story between Aida and Amneris is performed here by none other than the two greatest opera stars of our time: Anna Netrebko and Jonas Kaufmann! Under the baton of the excellent Italian conductor Riccardo Frizza, Luca Salsi and Elizabeth DeShong complete an anthology vocal cast.
