Summary
Opera houses were first constructed in the 1600s with funds from wealthy patrons, but as economic trends changed the lavish buildings became harder to maintain. Many fell into disrepair until a revival of interest in opera initiated their restoration. This program travels throughout Italy to present an overview of opera house reconstruction projects. Highlights include the Teatro Verdi, where excavation has unearthed new information about opera's history; the Teatro Farnese, built when opera singers began to emerge as stars and one of the last existing Italian court theaters; and the Teatro della Pergola, considered to be the first typical Italian opera house.
