Erected in 1792 under the direction of Giannantonio Selva after winning a public competition, Teatro La Fenice is a neoclassical landmark that initially housed private shows and operas. Despite two devastating fires in 1836 and 1996, the theater was rebuilt with improved acoustics, maintaining its grandeur and cultural significance. Throughout the 19th century, it premiered iconic works by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and Verdi, solidifying itself as a global epicenter of opera. With a capacity for over a thousand spectators, La Fenice continues to attract local and international audiences with a diverse program that includes opera, symphony, and contemporary repertoire, celebrating both the masters and emerging talents of Venice.

Built in 1792 in neoclassical style following a public competition won by Canova's friend Giannantonio Selva, Teatro La Fenice was initially one of many private venues for shows and operas. In December 1836, a major fire destroyed its interior, yet it was rebuilt a year later, much like the mythical bird that rises from ashes. Throughout the 19th century, La Fenice hosted world premieres of numerous operas including Rossini's Tancredi, Sigismondo, and Semiramide, Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi and Beatrice di Tenda, Donizetti's Belisario, Pia de' Tolomei, and Maria de Rudenz, as well as Verdi's Ernani, Attila, Rigoletto, La traviata, and Simon Boccanegra. With a capacity for over a thousand spectators, La Fenice boasts excellent acoustics, further enhanced after its reconstruction following a devastating second fire in 1996. It houses a 98-member orchestra and a 66-member chorus, drawing passionate local audiences and a large international following.
