Teatro Regio Torino

The Teatro Regio di Torino is one of the most important opera houses in Italy, founded by the House of Savoy in 1740 and rebuilt in a boldly modern style by Carlo Mollino after the original theatre was destroyed by fire in 1936. Reopened in 1973, the Teatro Regio is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and its programming that balances the Italian repertoire with important 20th-century and contemporary works. The theatre anchors the Piazza Castello, Turin's monumental civic heart.
