Teatro Verdi

The Teatro Verdi, born under the name of Teatro Nuovo, is one of the oldest opera houses in activity in the city of Trieste. It was built between 1798 and 1801 by the architects Gian Antonio Selva (the same as the Venice Phoenix) and Matteo Pertsch. The structure of the building resumes that of the “Teatro della Scala”. The inauguration took place on 21 April 1801. Today, the “Giuseppe Verdi” Opera Theatre Foundation has a stable orchestra, a stable choir, a dance body and excellent workshops. The Foundation carries out an intense operatic activity.
