  • The Dream in the Shell
    Stefano Carlucci The Dream in the Shell Premise “Che cos’è un teatro? Un edificio?.... Il teatro sono gli uomini e le donne che lo fanno. Eppure quando visitiamo i teatri di Drottingholm o di Versailles, il Teatro Farnese di Parma o l’Olimpico di Vicenza, sperimentiamo spesso le stesse reazioni cinestetiche che può darci uno spettacolo vivente. Quelle pietre e quei mattoni diventano spazio vivo anche se non vi si rappresenta nulla. Sono anch’essi un modo di pensare e sognare il teatro, materializzarlo e trasmetterlo per secoli”. (E. Barba, La canoa di carta, Il Mulino, Bologna 1993: 153). View of three-quarters of the interior of the Olympic Theatre in Vicenza The role played by the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza in the evolutionary history of Western Theatre has been a core topic at the center of many discussions and analysis since its construction in the end of the Sixteenth Century. Notwithstanding the deepness and complexity of these studies none of them seems to have clarified with certainty the very identity of this particular building: this “peculiar dramatic creature” should be considered the last of the ancient theatres, the first of the modern ones, a unique experiment or what else? "... Although Palladio's building with his scaenae was much admired frons much, it was too impractical to building to be copied. It is not, as said ssually, the first modern theater but one of the last and the greatest of the Renaissance academic theaters”.AA. VV., The Oxford Companion to the Theatre, edited by Phyllis Hartnoll, OU P., 1967: 36.

  • Il Teatro Degli Intrepidi Di Giovan Battista Aleotti Rivive Attraverso Le Nuove Tecniche Dell'acustica Virtuale
    Il Teatro degli Intrepidi di Giovan Battista Aleotti rivive attraverso le nuove tecniche dell'acustica virtuale P. Fabbri (*), A.Farina(°), P.Fausti(+), R.Pompoli(+) (*) Istituto di Storia dell'Arte - Università di Ferrara (°) Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale - Università di Parma (+) Istituto di Ingegneria - Università di Ferrara Abstract This paper describes the techniques employed for the architectonic and acoustic rendering of the Teatro degli Intrepidi in Ferrara, designed by Giovan Battista Aleotti at the beginning of 17th century. Shape, dimension and materials were chosen according to the historical documents found. Where no information was available, the choices were made according to what can be seen in the Teatro Farnese in Parma, which was also designed by the same architect a few years later, and in which the same new design solutions were used. The acoustical rendering was obtained by employing modern techniques of virtual acoustic reality, yielding the auralization of anechoic samples of speech and music with the numerically computed impulse responses of the theatre. 1 Descrizione del teatro Il Teatro degli Intrepidi di Giovan Battista Aleotti (1546-1636), costruito a Ferrara nel 1605 fu uno dei primi esempi di teatro stabile in Italia. L'Aleotti lo aveva realizzato su incarico del Marchese Enzo Bentivoglio riducendo "in forma di bellissima arena" [1] un granaio presso la chiesa di S. Lorenzo, che l'Accademia degli Intrepidi aveva avuto in affitto dal Duca di Modena Cesare d'Este. Questa Accademia, fondata agli inizi del 1600 da alcuni letterati ferraresi, si distingueva per "grandiosi spettacoli e rappresentazioni e torneamenti e giostre e melodrammi" [2]. Del teatro rimane un disegno con la pianta conservato all'Archivio di Stato di Modena, attribuito da A.

Abstract The core of his research paths is theater, considered in its two main components: its physical materialization, the buildings and sites conceived to contain the theatrical event (semiotics of theater architecture) and the dialogue relationship between authors/actors/audience. These issues originate from the work done in the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza (1999). Stefano Carlucci also collaborates with the Department of Mechanics, Politecnico di Milano, for the realization of a research project aimed to point out the possible points of contact between forensic engineering and semiotics.

  • The Acoustics of Three Italian Historical Theatres: the Early Days of Modern Performance Spaces
    THE ACOUSTICS OF THREE ITALIAN HISTORICAL THEATRES: THE EARLY DAYS OF MODERN PERFORMANCE SPACES PACS REFERENCE: 43.55.Gx Prodi Nicola; Pompoli Roberto Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Università di Ferrara Via Saragat 1 44100 Ferrara, Italia Tel: 39 0532 293 800 Fax:39 0532 768 602 E-Mail: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT In the last decades the theatres dating to XVI and XVII centuries, which are of paramount importance for the development of modern performance spaces, were almost completely neglected by acoustical studies. In this work the acoustics of three world-famous Italian theatres will be presented, namely the Teatro all’Antica in Sabbioneta, the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza and the Teatro Farnese in Parma. This comparative study spot new light in the process that led to the definition of the acoustic qualities of opera houses and concert halls. INTRODUCTION The three theatres object of this study, that is the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza ( referred to as VC), the Teatro all’Antica in Sabbioneta (in the province of Mantova, here indicated with MN) and the Teatro Farnese in Parma (named PR), are generally considered of outstanding importance in the historical development of performance spaces. They all date back to the early days of modern halls and precisely to the transition from XVI to XVII century. In particular the oldest of them, the Olimpico, which opened on 3rd of March 1585 with “Oedipus rex”, is a masterpiece of architecture from Andrea Palladio (1508 – 1580) completed with the perspective scenery of the streets of Tebe by Vincenzo Scamozzi (1552 – 1616).

  • Il Teatro Farnese Di Parma
    IL TEATRO FARNESE DI PARMA IL PALAZZO DELLA PILOTTA L’edificio, così denominato dal gioco basco della “Pelota” che si praticava in uno dei cortili, è un complesso di vari corpi edificati in successione sul finire del XVI secolo dal duca Ranuccio Farnese, duca di Parma e Piacenza dal 1593 al 1622, attorno ad un primo nucleo chiamato “Il Corridore”, che univa un precedente castello sforzesco posto verso il torrente con un edificio ducale ubicato nell’area denominata Piazzale della Pace. Il palazzo doveva essere utilizzato come sede di servizi di corte e conteneva i magazzini, l’archivio segreto, il guardaroba, le stalle, i fienili, il deposito delle armi e delle carrozze. Al primo piano c’erano i teatri di corte: il Farnese ed un altro più piccolo, realizzato da Stefano Lolli nella seconda metà del secolo XVII e demolito nel XIX per fare spazio alla Ducale Galleria voluta da Maria Luigia. Il palazzo fu progettato dall’architetto urbinate Francesco Paciotto e proseguito da Simone Moschino, che ideò il grande scalone imperiale di accesso al primo piano su modello di quello dell’Escorial di Madrid. I Borbone, succeduti ai Farnese, non modificarono il palazzo se non nelle funzioni, ospitandovi istituzioni culturali come la Biblioteca Palatina, l’Accademia, il Museo d’Antichità (oggi Museo Archeologico) e la Galleria Nazionale. IL TEATRO Il portale monumentale di accesso al teatro Farnese è incorniciato da due coppie di colonne dipinte a finto marmo sormontate dalla corona ducale. Il teatro è costituito da una cavea con pianta ad U di derivazione toscana formata da 14 gradoni e può ospitare oltre 3000 spettatori.

    TECHNICAL TRANSACTIONS 3/2019 ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.19.033.10207 SUBMISSION OF THE FINAL VERSION: 18/03/2019 Piotr Obracaj orcid.org/0000-0001-9838-6877 [email protected] Department of Urban Planning and Architecture, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, University of Science and Technology in Bydgoszcz Theatre architecture. A synthesis of arts in theatre Architektura teatralna. Synteza sztuk w teatrze Abstract The 16th century brought changes in the European theatre. The Teatro Olimpico which was erected in Vicenza continued in the formation of the seventeenth-century theatre built in Parma. It initiated the Italian Baroque Theatre, adopted throughout Europe and later throughout the world. The All’Antica arrangement of stage-auditorium that preceded Teatro Farnese was developed in Sabbioneta, and it was the first attempt to create a theatre of the viewer and the actor. A Baroque theatre hall in Mantua, with its functional capabilities, was ahead of its time. The artists of the Great Theatre Reform were looking for a space that would allow the viewer and the actor to be treated as the subject of performance. The beginning of this approach to theatre was demonstrated by Richard Wagner. Theatre became a place that saw a synthesis of all arts, and Peter Brook most clearly showed it in his performances, notably Mahabharata. Keywords: theatre space, stage and audience relation, Renaissance theatre, Baroque theatre, multiple use form Streszczenie Wiek XVI zapoczątkował zmiany w teatrze europejskim.

  • Das Teatro All'antica Von Sabbioneta
    Daniel Buggert (Köln) Das Teatro all’Antica von Sabbioneta Vincenzo Scamozzis Idee des theatralen Einheitsraumes Als letztes Gebäude fügte Vespasiano Gonzaga dem Hochkorridor von Sab- bioneta das Teatro all'Antica hinzu. Als erstes im Stadtraum freistehendes Theater stellt es einen wesentlichen Schritt in der typologischen Entwick- lung des neuzeitlichen Theaterbaus dar. Die neuen bauforscherischen Un- tersuchungen des Aachener Forschungsteams unter der Leitung von Jan Pieper ermöglichen es, eine eindeutige Rekonstruktion der inneren Struk- tur des Ursprungsbaus zu entwickeln. Durch die vergleichende Betrachtung der erhaltenen zeitgenössischen Theater, die auch die Akustik als physika- lisch messbare Dimension berücksichtigt, kann die Entwicklung des früh- neuzeitlichen Theaters nachvollzogen werden. Nicht zuletzt offenbart sich die Raumidee, die der Planung Vincenzo Scamozzis zugrunde liegt. http://www.archimaera.de ISSN: 1865-7001 urn:nbn:de:0009-21-47053 Juli 2018 #7 "Dialog" S. 89–98 Die Untersuchung des Teatro Corte Cornaro in Padua, das Teatro all’Antica war Bestandteil zweier Olimpico in Vicenza und das Teatro mehrjähriger Forschungsprojekte.1 In Farnese in Parma in die Betrachtung einem ersten Schritt wurde mit De- einbezogen, wobei neben der archi- tailbetrachtungen der Anschluss des tekturhistorischen Analyse und bau- Gebäudes an das System der Hochkor- forscherischen Erfassung die Akustik ridore von Sabbioneta untersucht, der der Theaterräume untersucht wurde, alle fürstlichen Bauten der Stadt mit- um die architektonische Entwicklung

  • Italian-Style Opera Houses: a Historical Review
    applied sciences Review Italian-Style Opera Houses: A Historical Review Dario D’Orazio † Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Bologna, 40136 Bologna, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-051-2090549 † Current address: Viale Risorgimento 2, 40136 Bologna, Italy. Received: 18 May 2020; Accepted: 24 June 2020; Published: 3 July 2020 Abstract: Attending an opera involves a multi-sensory evaluation (acoustical, visual, and more), cultural background and other emotional parameters. The present work aims to investigate the historical development of Italian-style opera houses, from the 16th century until today. Called “Italian” due to their origin, they developed thanks to the mutual influence of the genre and the building characteristics. Furthermore, the acoustics of historical opera houses is now considered as intangible cultural heritage, so it should be known and preserved.
