Places to see in ( Palermo - Italy ) Teatro Massimo
The Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele is an opera house and opera company located on the Piazza Verdi in Palermo, Sicily. It was dedicated to King Victor Emanuel II. It is the biggest in Italy, and one of the largest of Europe (the third after the Opéra National de Paris and the K. K. Hof-Opernhaus in Vienna), renowned for its perfect acoustics.
An international competition for the creation of the opera house was announced by the Palermo Council in 1864 at the instigation of the mayor, Antonio Starrabba di Rudinì. For many years there had been talk of building a large new theatre in Palermo, worthy of the second biggest city in southern Italy (after Naples) and designed to promote the image of the city following the unification of Italy in 1861.
The opera house was designed and overseen by the Italian architect Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, who was well known in Sicily for his previous cathedral restoration design in the city of Acireale, as well as garden and villa designs in the city of Palermo and Caltagirone. Following G. B. F. Basile's death in 1891, construction was then overseen by his son, Architect Ernesto Basile.
Giovanni Rutelli belongs to a very old and renowned northern Italian family of confirmed British Isles origin, a family which also includes architects and sculptor artists from the old Sicilian classic and baroque school as well as building contractors, all entrepreneurs going back to the first half of the 18th century in Palermo. Along with Architect D. Mario Rutelli (Giovanni's great-grandfather), they were considered to be among the most technically and artistically specialized experts in Sicily at that time, especially because of Mario Rutelli and his descendants' profound knowledge and experience in Ancient Greek/Roman architecture, as well as the Norman architectural style. This style required the use of natural thick stone, all of which was part of the structural design. Some of the external decoration and one of the two very large bronze statues of lions sitting next to the theatre's monumental stairway entrance were created by Giovanni Rutelli's son, sculptor artist Sir Mario Rutelli.
Construction started on 12 January 1874, but was stopped for eight years from 1882 until 1890. Finally, on 16 May 1897, twenty-two years after the laying of the foundation stone, the third largest opera house in Europe—after the Palais Garnier in Paris and the K. K. Hof-Opernhaus in Vienna—was inaugurated with a performance of Verdi's Falstaff conducted by Leopoldo Mugnone.
The Teatro Massimo is the largest theatre in Italy. Basile was inspired by ancient and classical Sicilian architecture and, thus, the exterior was designed in the high neoclassical style incorporating elements of the Greek temples at Selinunte and Agrigento. Realized in the late-Renaissance style, the auditorium was planned for 3,000 people, but, in its current format, it seats 1,381, with 7 tiers of boxes rising up around an inclined stage, and shaped in the typical horseshoe style.
In 1974, the house was closed to complete renovations required by updated safety regulations, but cost over-runs, corruption, and political in-fighting all added to the delay and it remained closed for twenty-three years, finally re-opening on 12 May 1997, four days before its centenary. The opera season started again in 1999, although Verdi's Aida was performed in 1998 while work in progress continued.
During the restoration regular opera seasons were performed in Teatro Politeama, a minor building not far from Teatro Massimo. In summer a few performances, usually concerts, ballet and operetta, are held in Teatro della Verdura. In recent years, charges of corruption and political meddling…along with budget deficits and heavy debts have plagued the house, but, under its then part-English music director, Jan Latham Koenig, it was reported that it is once again on track.

Palermo at night: Teatro Massimo opera house, Godfather Part III film location
The Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele is a beautiful opera house in downtown Palermo, one of the largest in Europe. It opened its doors on May 16, 1897, after 22 years of construction and another decade or so of squabbles over its construction. The final scenes of the film “The Godfather, Part III” were filmed here. The operatic climax of the famed Mafia trilogy was filmed at the Teatro Massimo. The renovation work meant the opera house could not host the interior opera scenes but the dramatic conclusion was staged on the opera house front steps seen in the video.
It was created in a classical Sicilian architecture and the exterior incorporates elements of the Greek temples that remain at Selinunte and Agrigento. Busts of famous composers were carved for the theatre by the Italian sculptor, Giusto Liva.
It was designed and overseen by the Italian architect Giovan Battista Filippo Basile until his death in 1891; his son, architect Ernesto Basile, took over from his father to complete the project. It was dedicated to King Victor Emanuel II.
It was part of Palermo’s re-emergence after national unity as a city of significance and culture — the Belle Epoque.
The opening night opera was Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff.
In 1935 the theatre was officially designated with a Decree from the Italian Ministry of Culture Ente Teatrale Autonomo, and thus recognized as a public theatre.
In 1974 the theatre was closed for reconstruction works and remained closed for 23 years. It didn’t reopen until May 12, 1997, with a conducted by Franco Mannino and Claudio Abbado with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
