The amazing venue has a wonderful new outdoor arena which is located in a beautiful scenery overlooking the lake.The Teatro dell'opera di Roma is a beautiful opera house where many classical dance concerts and opera performances are held every year. In summer, one can watch opera and dance performances that take place in the ancient Baths of Caracalla, a majestic setting for enjoying opera under the stars. Moreover, the  Teatro Regio in Turin has another famous opera house in Piazza Castello. Even though it suffered a complete destruction in the beginning of the century, it was still reconstructed and it is currently open to the public.
