Teatro Sannazaro

Chiaia

For a satisfying Neapolitan "soul" experience, catch a local singer like Lina Sastri or Lara Sansone at Teatro Sannazaro, which also hosts Neapolitan plays by Eduardo de Filippo and the Associazione Scarlatti's classical music performances. In addition, the venue books shows by younger Italian bands and singers.

Villa Pignatelli

Chiaia

The Rothschild banking family's 19th-century residence (now known as the Museo Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes) makes a fitting venue for the concerts that are often held in the summer.
