The Teatro Lirico was inaugurated in 1993, at the end of an extremely long construction period. The competition announcement involving the realization of a building to replace the ancient Teatro Civico, destroyed by bombardments in the old town during the Second World War, dates back to 1964. In 1967, the plan by Ginoulhiac and Galmozzi, architects from Bergamo, is approved and the construction of the modern building, which has an area of 5,000 square metres, begins: the foyer; 1650 seats including stalls, I circle and II circle; the ample stage and the orchestra pit. In the years following the inauguration, rehearsal rooms, workrooms, warehouses and office premises are made. Latest achievements are the foyer renovation, the opening of the bookshop, the bar and the refined restaurant of Teatro Lirico.

The Teatro alla Scala was founded, under the auspices of the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, to replace the Royal Ducal Theatre, which was destroyed by fire on 26 February 1776 and had until then been the home of opera in Milan. The cost of building the new theatre was borne by the owners of the boxes at the Ducal, in exchange for possession of the land on which stood the church of Santa Maria alla Scala (hence the name) and for renewed ownership of their boxes. Designed by the great neoclassical architect Giuseppe Piermarini, La Scala opened on 3 August 1778 with Antonio Salieri's opera L'Europa riconosciuta, to a libretto by Mattia Verazi............

Also known as the Teatro Costanzi, Rome's leading theatre is an attractive opera house, which puts on extravagant opera productions, interspersed with ballets. The Teatro dell'Opera has its own orchestra and ballet company, both of a high standard.
