Seating at the Teatro Commune Opera in Florence
Going to the Opera in Florence this summer and am about to buy my tix online. Does anyone know if Stalls A or B are better? What are the best seats in the house in your opinion?

Please let me know if you successfully buy these tickets online. Is this for the operas that are part of Maggio Fiorentino? I've tried twice and neither time have I been able to get to the screen where they take my payment information.<BR><BR>Thx/M

I just bought tickets; I emailed a couple of weeks ago (but tickets only went on sale yesterday for summer festival) and was told that they don't let you do it online, must call. That was frustrating, because multiple attempts, with many intervening calls to credit card issuer, kept being met with rejected card. Finally used a different card with no problem. Just call -- phone no. from US is, in total, 011-39-09-35564767. When the recording comes up, press 2. Ask for someone who speaks English (i.e., the one person who does -- Simone -- I got to know her well with all those call -- she is very patient and her English is quite good).

(There's only one "m" in the midst of "Comunale".) A Google search for "teatro comunale firenze" got me to the website; here's the seating chart page:<BR><BR>http://www.maggiofiorentino.com/eng/...glietti4.shtml (Click on "Home" or the logo to get back to the main page.)
