Italy

The Teatro Regio di Torino is one of the oldest opera theatres in existence today: its origins date back to 1740, the year in which it opened as a magnificent venue of the Savoy Court. Designed by architect Benedetto Alfieri with innovative criteria, it soon became a destination of the grand tours of the period. After almost two centuries of uninterrupted activity, the old building, a theatre “all’italiana” with five tiers of boxes, was destroyed in a violent fire on the night between 8 and 9 February, 1936.

The fire did not interrupt the programming of the Regio, which continued in other theatres across the city until the opening of the present structure. Unique in all the world for its design, thanks to the genius of architect Carlo Mollino, it was inaugurated in 1973 with I Vespri siciliani by Verdi, in the one and only stage direction of Maria Callas and Giuseppe Di Stefano.
