Opera Carlo Felice Genova

Opera Carlo Felice Genova is the principal opera house of Genoa, Italy, used for performances of opera, ballet, orchestral music, and recitals. Built on the area of its old structure, the new theatre Opera Carlo Felice was built by the company Mario Valle s.p.a. of Arenzano based on the project by the architects Aldo Rossi, Ignazio Gardella, Fabio Reinhart and Angelo Sibilla. The new Carlo Felice theatre draws on an idea already present in the projects of Paolo Chessa and Carlo Scarpa: the creation of a covered square of 400 m² where the theatre is the ideal connection between Galleria Mazzini and Piazza De Ferrari. From an architectural perspective, the Galleria Mazzini and the theatre are distant.
