"Best Entertainment in Turin" Created by: Cityseeker 6 Locations Bookmarked Royal Theater of Turin "Tradition & Prestige" The idea of building the Teatro Regio Torino started in 1713 when the Duke of Savoy became the King of Piedmont, but they had to wait until 1738 before any work began. Designed by Filippo Juvarra, it was built by Benedetto Alfieri and opened to the public in 1749. A fire in 1936 and bombings during World War II destroyed the Regio, which was then rebuilt by Dario Crespi with a plan by the architect Carlo Molino and the engineer Marcello Zavelani-Rossi in 1966, and reopened in 1973. There is a large plaque on the ground at the entrance to the theater which has the dates 1740-1973 engraved in Roman numerals. The Baroque style is luxurious and perfectly suited to a theater which offers the most famous operas in the world. +39 011 881 5557 www.teatroregio.torino.it/
