About the Theater

Much like La Fenice in Venice, the Teatro Petruzzelli has a story of destruction and rebirth. Originally constructed in 1903, the theater was destroyed by arson in 1991. It took years to get construction re-started, but finally, in 2009, ownership of the theater passed from private hands to the city of Bari and the theater re-opened with a performance of the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven. The theater has a history of performing forgotten works, such as the IPHIGENIE EN TAURIDE by Niccolo Piccinni, which hadn't been performed since 1779. That tradition continues after its rebirth from the flames, with exciting seasons of symphony performances and wonderfully staged opera and ballet .
