History:
The grand opera house of Venice was built in 1792 after the initial opera house of the city was burnt to the ground in 1774. There was a second fire in 1836, but the opera house was rebuilt quickly and reopened in 1837. In 1996 as a result of arson, Teatro La Fenice was burnt down again (leaving exterior walls) and was rebuilt and re-opened in November of 2004.
The current theater was rebuilt in the 19th century style based on original architectural design, photos and other information available to the design team.
The motto for the new construction was: “As it was, where it was”
