The Teatro Dell’Opera in Rome | Pocket
The huge photographic collection includes the new ‘Scripta Maneant’ photo campaign, which showcases the theatre’s architectural structure, decorations and works of art; collaboration with the Historical Archive has enabled the publication of images and documents, some previously unpublished, offering a journey through time into the theatre’s history, from 1880 right up to the most recent performances.
Enriched by introductions by the Superintendent Francesco Giambrone, the Director of the Corps de Ballet and the School of Dance, Maestra Eleonora Abbagnato, and the Music Director, Maestro Michele Mariotti, the volume is the most comprehensive and up-to-date publication on the history of the theatre.
