From outside it's a surprisingly plain neoclassical block. Buy a museum ticket, though, and you pass Verdi and Toscanini relics, costumes and old instruments before a box door opens onto the horseshoe auditorium, all red velvet and gilt, spread out below you. That view only happens when there's no rehearsal or set-up on stage, so luck plays a part. In the evening you can, of course, catch an opera or ballet.
