this is a fabulous shot of the theater in all of its glory. I love this type of intimate and ornate theater. A gem indeed!

Beautiful! It reminds me of the Petruzzelli in Bari.

It reminds me of the toy theatre in Bergman's 'Fanny and Alexander', one of my all time favourite films.
stunning image...
