Teatro dell'Opera di Roma
The Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, nestled in the heart of Rome, stands as a prestigious opera house. Constructed in a swift span of 18 months, it opened its doors in 1880 with Rossini's Semiramide gracing the stage. Famed for its impeccable acoustics, the interior serves as a 'resonance chamber,' ensuring a pristine auditory and visual experience essential for engaging performances. Designed in an elegant horseshoe shape by Sfondrini, its dome boasts exquisite frescoes by Annibale Brugnoli. With an impressive layout, the main theater includes three levels of boxes, two galleries, an amphitheater, and can host up to 2,212 guests, promising an intimate yet grand setting.
Giuseppe Verdi
Giuseppe Verdi, the illustrious Italian opera composer, gained a musical education from a young age thanks to a supportive patron and quickly rose to prominence in the world of Italian opera. By his 30s, he was recognized as a leading figure in the classical music realm. His most celebrated operas include Il Trovatore, Rigoletto, and La Traviata. Additionally, the success of his operas allowed him to become a landowner and concentrate on his personal life. Nevertheless, he made a triumphant return to the music scene with the acclaimed Aida (1871), followed by three masterpieces: Otello, Requiem, and Falstaff.
