Visiting the Carlo Felice Theater is like traveling through time. A journey to discover the links with the past and the technology of a stage machine that makes this theater one of the most interesting theaters in Europe.
Indeed, in the structure, memories of the past, such as the marble statue of St. Dominic of Francis, coexist with contemporary works of art, such as Aurelio Caminati’s frescoes and Raimondo Sirotti’s tapestries in the imposing foyer.
From the foyers there is access to the main hall that occupies the entire interior of the building, in which the architects recreated the atmosphere of the ancient piazza theaters in which performances were staged outdoors in city centers.Hence the presence of windows and balconies on the walls, reminiscent of the facades of Genoa’s palaces, and the ceiling dotted with 160 lights that recall a starry sky.
The technological heart of the theater is a 63-meter stage tower and four movable stages (main, dorsal, and two lower ones side by side), which allow for the staging of complex productions or several alternating performances.
