Nobile Teatro di San Giacomo di Corfù, Opera house in Corfu, Greece
The Nobile Teatro di San Giacomo features baroque architecture with ornate decorations and stands in the center of Corfu's historic district.
Established in 1693 during Venetian rule, the building transformed into a theater in 1720 and became the first modern theater in Greece.
The theater generated local musical appreciation, leading to the emergence of professional Greek musicians through collaborations with Italian performers and composers.
The building currently functions as the City Hall of Corfu, maintaining its architectural heritage while serving administrative purposes.
In 1867, the theater hosted the premiere of O Ypopsifios by Spyridon Xyndas, the first opera composed with an exclusively Greek libretto.
