context: This is the first reimagination of the Teatro San Cassiano of 1637 in history. Its 153-box, five-tier roman semi-circular auditorium (capacity 405) will deliver an immediacy, intensity and intimacy that was the hallmark of Venetian Baroque opera and which simply does not exist today.
context: The Teatro San Cassiano will restore historically-informed Baroque opera to Venice and with it take us on a 200-year journey through the evolution of Venice’s greatest gift to the world. As the world’s only purposefully reconstructed and fully operational Baroque opera house, the theatre will be exceptionally disposed to capture that intimate environment so intrinsic to the development of opera. Its very being will be uniquely Baroque, uniquely Venetian.
