Carefully restored to its former
splendor, 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.
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. On March 4th, 1737 a
contract was signed with architect
Giovanni Antonio Medrano and contractor
Angelo Garasale for the construction of
the theatre. 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 name day
- 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.
