Teatro Sociale, Opera house in Como, Italy
The Teatro Sociale features a neoclassical facade with six Corinthian columns and contains five tiers of seating across its interior structure.
Built in 1813 upon the ruins of the medieval Torre Rotonda castle, the theater expanded in 1854 to include thirty-eight additional boxes.
During World War II, the Teatro Sociale served as an alternate venue for Milan's La Scala when the latter sustained damage from bombing.
The theater maintains a capacity of 999 seats and presents regular performances of opera, drama, dance, and musical productions throughout the year.
In 2013, the venue marked its bicentennial with a special performance of Carmina Burana through the 200.Com celebration project.
