Originally built as an open-air amphitheater, the place only got a roof when it reopened in 1864 after a fire. It was damaged again during the WWII and reopened in 1961 with a production of Verdi's Don Carlo.
The renowned opera festival (and also the first music festival in Italy ever) Maggio Musicale Fiorentino takes place here every year.
Performances usually start at 8:30 p.m., but times may vary.
Prices of tickets to various events start at €15.
