History and description
Teatro Giacosa (officially: Teatro Civico Giuseppe Giacosa) is a theatre located in Ivrea, Italy.
History
In 1829, the municipal administration of Ivrea entrusted architect Maurizio Storero with the task of designing a new city theatre. Storero chose to adhere to the then-customary model of the so-called teatro all'italiana, consisting of a horseshoe-shaped hall with stacked boxes. Construction works took place between 1833 and 1834. The inauguration took place on 5 July 1834 during the celebrations of the patronal feast of St Sabinus with three opera performances: Giulietta e Romeo and La gioventù di Enrico IV, both by Nicola Vaccai, and Il nuovo Figaro by Luigi Ricci.
