The inside story

Step into a Greek tragedy at The Ancient Theatre of Taormina (Teatro Antico di Taormina), carved into the rocks of Monte Tauro and enjoy jaw-dropping views of the Ionian coast and Mount Etna.

Where natural scenery becomes one with the architecture, the theatre was built in the third century B.C by the ancient Greeks. With its perfect acoustics from any area of the auditorium, the Greeks used it for musical and drama performances. After the Romans conquered Taormina and made it a Roman colony, the theatre was expanded and renovated, used for gladiator fights and naval battles (expanded and renovated).

Today, the well-preserved theatre hosts opera concerts, ballets, dramas, and the most important Italian cinematic event; the David di Donatello award ceremony! Elton John, Duran Duran have even played here - make sure to check out what’s on when you visit.

Why not book a tour and step back in time, retrace its history and explore the site of the second-largest theatre in Taormina. Discover its different sections: the stage, auditorium and orchestra. A breathtaking beauty lies in its damage, and the ‘v’ shape gap behind the stage makes way for panoramic views of Taormina from above.
