Teatro Petruzzelli is the largest theatre in Bari and the fourth largest in Italy, opened in 1903 by the Petruzzelli family. A fire almost destroyed the building in 1991, and restoration took 18 years: the theatre reopened in 2009 with Puccini's Turandot. Enrico Caruso and Frank Sinatra performed on this stage; today it hosts opera seasons, ballet and concerts.
