About the Teatro dell'Opera in Rome:

Rising near the baths of Diocletian, the Teatro dell'Opera in Rome stands as an enduring monument to Italian genius. Inaugurated in 1880 as the Teatro Costanzi, it played a pivotal role in the cultural soul of a newly unified Italy. Within its opulent interiors, the theatre has witnessed significant premieres, including Puccini's Tosca in 1900. It has survived wars and regimes, safeguarding a repertoire that connects Italy to the wider world. This book captures the essence of this historic opera house, from its ancient stone exterior to its velvet and light-filled auditorium, celebrating the singers and performances that transform silence into shared memory.
