DESCRIZIONE:
Built at the request of Victor Amadeus II, who wished to give the city a new opera theatre, the building was designed by Filippo Juvarra, but built only in 1738 by Benedetto Alfieri with different changes. In less than two years the theatre was completed (1740) with such innovative technical expedients that they appear in the illustrated charts of the French Encyclopédie (1752-72). After the 1936 fire it was rebuilt, with its axis rotated by 90°, by Carlo Mollino and Marcello Zavellani Rossi (1965-73). The vault was frescoed by Sebastiano Galeotti and the stage is the second largest in Europe, after the stage of Opéra-Bastille of Paris.
