Teatro Filarmonico

Bereft of a large opera house, the Accademia Filarmonica di Verona decided in the early 18th century to build a theatre for the city.

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 theater was rebuilt and rededicated in 1754 with the opera Lucio Vero by Neapolitan composer Davide Perez.

In 1822 during the ,Congress of Verona the La santa alleanza (The Holy Alliance) by Gioachino Rossini was performed.

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 ...).
