A BRIEF HISTORY OF TEATRO DI SAN CARLO



The coat of arms of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies thrones over the majestic proscenium arch, blending in with its colours: in its centre sits the stem of the House of Bourbon - three fleurs-de-lys on a light blue field - surrounded by the 21 heraldic symbols of the houses related to this then ruling dynasty. This is a strong emblem of the theatre's long history. Now carefully restored to its former splendour, the San Carlo is the oldest working theatre in Europe (41 years older than Milano's Scala and 51 years older than Venice's Fenice) its regular seasons having only been interrupted once, in 1874 and 1875 - due to a lack of funds. Neither the 1816 fire nor the Second World War put a halt to its activity: after the 1816 fire the theatre was rebuilt in a mere six months and during the war a series of concerts for the armed forces was staged in lieu of operas. The San Carlo shares with La Scala the record for the first Italian ballet school (1812) whilst its set design school opened as early as 1816.

Teatro di San Carlo was built by King Charles of Bourbon who wished to endow his capital city with a grand house to replace the old and crumbling San Bartolomeo which belonged to the Casa degli Incurabili. This institution was given an income of 2,500 ducats to replace the profits of the old theatre, which was demolished and its wood reused. At the same time the Royal Factories were ordered to draw up plans for a new theatre to be situated in a central area. On March 4th, 1737 a contract was signed with architect Giovanni Antonio Medrano and contractor Angelo Garasale. The cost was fixed at 75,000 ducats and the completion term given for the end of that same year.

This contract was fulfilled with astonishing precision: as early as November 4th, 1737 - the king's nameday - San Carlo was inaugurated with Metastasio's opera Achille in Sciro, set into music by Domenico Sarro, who also conducted the orchestra, and with two ballets as intermezzos created by Grossatesta. The part of Achilles, as was usual at that time, was performed by a woman, Vittoria Tesi, known as the "Moretta" who sang along with primo soprano Anna Peruzzi, known as "la Parrucchierina", and tenor Angelo Amorevoli.
NEAPOLITAN 18th CENTURY OPERA

ON STAGE AT THE TEATRO DI SAN CARLO

Besides staging the great operatic repertoire and many nineteenth-century forgotten masterpieces, the Teatro di San Carlo has been intensely working towards the recovery of eighteenth-century Neapolitan comic operas, partly in co-operation with renowned musicologist Maestro Roberto de Simone. A list follows, of operas brought thus back to light and success:
