THE HISTORY OF THE THEATRE

Next to Piazza del Plebiscito symbol of the City of Naples, stands the Italian lyric temple. The Teatro di San Carlo was built in 1737, by the will of King Charles III of Bourbon who strongly intended to give the city a new theatre that would represent royal power. The restructuring of the theatre bears the signature of the architect and set designer Antonio Niccolini (1772-1850). The leader of Neoclassicism in Naples intervenes, on several occasions, in the building which gradually acquires its present appearance. The first phase of the metamorphosis concerns the facade, transfigured by elements of classicist grammar and Hellenizing decorations, with the consequent addition of the foyer and the recreation and refreshment areas. The works ended 2 years later. With Nicolini the theatre thus acquires the connotations of the temple, becoming a monument-symbol of the city.
