[The Municipal Theater of Bologna] “Narrating the specifics of a theater [¿] the volume suggests keys of interpretation of the role played over the centuries by these places that are the reflection of a society.”
The history of the Municipal Theater of Bologna, founded in 1763 and home to an impressive list of opera professionals, is the story of an institution, in a city of schools, not the residence of a court, that has always made an important contribution to a place that constantly imported and reworked stimuli from elsewhere.
With photographs taken especially for this publication, the guide describes the background of the construction of the building, narrating its voices, ghosts and protagonists.
