ラ・フェニーチェ
The Teatro La Fenice (the Phoenix) opened its doors in 1792 as the grandest opera house in Italy, built to replace a theater lost to fire and named for the bird that rises from its own ashes, a symbol that would prove grimly prophetic more than once. Its gilded interior, its boxes arranged by rank, and its season of premieres turned opera from aristocratic private entertainment into the defining cultural event of a city that had run out of military victories but not beauty. Every night the theater displays the Republic's taste, wealth, and ambition to an audience of nobles, travelers, and critics whose admiration travels further than any diplomatic dispatch.
