History

[edit]

Bereft of a large opera house, the Accademia Filarmonica di Verona decided in the early 18th century to build a theatre for the city. Work began in 1716 and lasted 13 years. The theater was inaugurated on the evening of January 6, 1732, with the pastoral drama La fida ninfa by Antonio Vivaldi, a libretto by Scipio Maffei. The opera season became famous, and the performances led society events. But on January 21, 1749, an accidental fire consumed the building. The theater was rebuilt and rededicated in 1754 with the opera Lucio Vero by Neapolitan composer Davide Perez. The opera had a limited success. During the Napoleonic French invasions, a long series of celebrations were held in the theater, such as the Cantata per la Santa Alleanza ("Cantata for the Holy Alliance") by Gioachino Rossini. The theater hosted international singers, and among its repertoire appear the most famous works of Italian and foreign melodrama.

On the night of February 23, 1945, the theater was razed by the Anglo-American bombing. The Philharmonic Academy announced that it would try to rebuild the theatre exactly as it had been before. The work lasted decades, and the theatre was inaugurated again in 1975, with the opera Falstaff by Antonio Salieri.

The theatre still hosts opera, ballets and concerts seasons. The operatic repertoire is one of the most famous for Italian operas and international (La sonnambula, The Barber of Seville, Tosca ...) and the works of non-repertoire (A day of the kingdom, Manon Lescaut of Auber, Loreley of Catalani ...).
