Teatro San Cassiano, Opera house in Santa Croce district, Venice, Italy.
The Teatro San Cassiano featured five tiers of boxes arranged in a horseshoe shape, with advanced acoustics suitable for musical performances.
The Tron family opened this groundbreaking venue in 1637, establishing the first public opera house where audiences purchased tickets to attend performances.
Francesco Manelli and Benedetto Ferrari's L'Andromeda premiered at the theater's inauguration, setting standards for future operatic productions in Venice.
The theater operated continuously from 1637 until 1798, hosting performances by notable composers including Francesco Cavalli throughout its 161-year existence.
A reconstruction project initiated in 2019 aims to rebuild the theater using historical documentation and traditional construction methods from the 17th century.
