Syracuse Sicilian puppet opera: watch Opera dei Pupi, then tour behind the stage with hands-on craft and drama, in Italian.
“bit of miis communication about time of back stage tour but not a big problem”
Sicilian puppets in Syracuse with a backstage visit. Watch pupe dei pupi, then meet the makers and how the magic works in 1h 10m.
“The tour makes the show that much more special. The knowledge, skill, artistry and history was amazing. The show was 45 mins of intense drama in Sicilian. The explanation at the start was enough to allow us to follow the story and enjoy it.”
Syracuse Opera dei Pupi museum guided tour and an intense Italian puppet show with dragons, battles, and story-rich Sicilian tradition.
“Mi sono presentata alle 18:45 come da accordi. Non c era nessuna guida sul posto. Mi hanno detto che potevo visitare il museo in autonomia pagando 1 euro extra a testa. Ma alle 19 iniziava lo spettacolo e terminava alle 20 passate e il museo alle 20 chiudeva riaprendo tre giorni dopo. Io l indomani sono partita e non potevo riandare. Dunque in realtà ho visto solo lo spettacolo che è stato molto bello. Però il titolo è fuorviante non è così”
Enjoy a private Sicilian home show cooking in Campofelice di Roccella, learning fresh pasta and tasting family recipes with a host.
“Rosa Maria in Cefalu was awesome and excellent. She was well prepared and very kind and pleasant. The food experience was excellent also!”
Private show-cooking dinner in Bagheria, Sicily with a 4-course meal, fresh pasta, and family-style Sicilian flavors in a local home.
“This was a wonderful experience! My mom and I came to Rosalia's beautiful home and received the best authentic meal! 4 course meal with a bottle of wine and the dessert at the end was perfect. She made so much food, the two of us could not possibly eat all of it. Both her and her husband were lovely people.. They went above and beyond helping us after an awful taxi ride we had. Highly reccomend booking her if you are in Bagheria , we will definitely book again next time we are in town. You will not be disappointed!”
Meet the Vaccaro brothers in Syracuse for a hands-on Sicilian puppet museum tour and a lively Opera dei Pupi show, mostly in Italian.
“Très joli théâtre, nous sommes arrivées en retard, donc je ne peux rien dire sur le musée, mais le spectacle est prenant, même s'il était en italien. Très original . Les marionnettes sont extraordinaires et les manipulateurs aussi.”
