La Fenice was inaugurated on 5 December 1996 and stands exactly in the same place as the previous city theatres and above the archaeological area from which it is separated by more than two thousand years of history.
The construction of the first municipal theatre was entrusted to the architect Pietro Ghinelli (1759-1834), one of the most important theatre architects who built 14 theatres including those in Pesaro (1818) and “Le Muse” in Ancona (1826). The works begun on 18 October 1828 were finished in July 1830 but on the night of 9 August 1838 the theatre was destroyed by fire.
In January 1839 the reconstruction works begin and are completed in less than a year. The new municipal theatre is called “La Fenice”. In 1930 the earthquake condemned the theatre to a forced inoperability and finally in 1944 it was hit by a bomb and its rubble was for a long time an open wound in the heart of the city.
The current Teatro La Fenice was designed by architect Silvio Argentati. The archaeological roman findsdiscovered during the works, have significantly influenced the design of the theatre which was therefore thought as a multi-facet blockand each characterized by an architectural image that refers to the architecture of the city on which the building looks. In particular, the façade along Via Pisacane, facing the eighteenth-century part of the historic center, is characterized by a giant architectural order that finds its references in the architecture of the Ercolani Portici, The most significant urban structure in the city of the eighteenth century.
The opposite façade looking inside the walled city of the sixteenth century, consolidated with the lordship of Della Rovere, is characterized by figures that refer to the architecture of that period, as the large quadripartite window that illuminates the foyer in a similar shape to the quadripartite windows present in various architectures of the time, such as, in Senigallia, in the convent of Grazie.
The hall of the La Fenice Theatre consists of a single large rectangular room (dimensions m. 32.80 x 24.70) with a progressively increasing step-up floor that exceeds a difference in height equal to m. 5.82. The hall has a capacity of 874 seats. It is a multifunctional structure suitable for opera, ballet, concerts, prose theatre and cinema.
