Text in English and Italian.Rising near the baths of Diocletian, where Imperial Rome once proclaimed its power, the Teatro dell'Opera in Rome stands as a different but no less enduring monument to Italian genius. Inaugurated in 1880 as the Teatro Costanzi, it was born at a pivotal hour - when a newly unified Italy sought not only political coherence but a shared cultural soul.
