The Teatro Carcano is an opera house in Milan designed by Luigi Canonica .

history

The house was opened on September 3, 1803 with the opera Zaira by Vincenzo Federici with the participation of Giacomo David and Luigi Pacini.

The two most important premieres that the theater experienced were Anna Bolena (1830) by Gaetano Donizetti , with Giuditta Pasta , Filippo Galli and Giovanni Battista Rubini, and La sonnambula (1831) by Vincenzo Bellini , with Giuditta Pasta and Rubini.

Today nothing can be seen of the original building and its facade, as the theater was rebuilt around 1913 by Nazzareno Moretti in eclectic forms and a floral style and later built over by a frontal building.
