The Teatro Regio is one of the most important Italian theatres on the European scene, offering an action-packed program of opera and ballet.

It was designed by Filippo Juvarra and inaugurated in 1740. Destroyed by a fire in 1936 and rebuilt in 1973 by Turinese architect Carlo Mollino, the only part of the original building that still remains intact is its façade, now a UNESCO world heritage site. Its unusual gate named “Odissea Musicale” (Musical Odyssey) is by Umberto Mastroianni.
