Teatro dell’Opera di Roma
About

The Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, originally inaugurated as Teatro Costanzi in 1880, stands as a cornerstone of Rome’s cultural heritage. Commissioned by entrepreneur Domenico Costanzi and designed by architect Achille Sfondrini, the theatre was constructed in just eighteen months on the site of the ancient Villa of Elagabalus. Its neo-Renaissance architecture and horseshoe-shaped auditorium were meticulously crafted to ensure exceptional acoustics, a feature that continues to captivate audiences today. Over the years, the theatre has hosted numerous world premieres, including Puccini’s Tosca in 1900. In 1926, it was acquired by the city of Rome and renamed Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, reflecting its status as the capital’s premier opera house. Today, it presents a diverse repertoire of operas, ballets, and concerts, featuring both classical masterpieces and contemporary works. During the summer months, the theatre extends its stage to the ancient Baths of Caracalla, offering open-air performances amidst historic ruins. This unique setting enhances the operatic experience, blending Rome’s rich history with its vibrant performing arts scene. Teatro dell'Opera di Roma
