Teatro Verdi
Teatro Lirico Giuseppe Verdi
An opera house opened in 1801, its exterior modeled on Milan's La Scala and its interior on Venice's La Fenice, and a leading venue for opera and operetta in Trieste.
The theatre was designed by architect Selva. After Verdi's death in 1901, it was named in his honor, and Verdi had premiered his opera Stiffelio here. Each year it stages opera, symphony and operetta, and Trieste also hosts an international operetta festival in summer. Tickets for performances cost about 20 to 100 euros and can be bought on the official website; on non-performance days, guided tours are occasionally offered. Located beside Piazza Unità d'Italia.
