Like a Phoenix Out of the Ashes. The Reopening of La Fenice
Description
La Fenice - "The Phoenix" - was given its name after reopening in 1792 following a fire that had burned it to the ground. A second blaze destroyed La Fenice in 1836, but it rose from the ashes again to host premieres by Verdi, Wagner, and Stravinsky. Incredibly, a third fire ravished the theater in 1996. This program documents the reconstruction that began in 2001 of La Fenice after the 1996 fire. Wood carvers, painters, sound experts, even cloth manufacturers and lamp designers explain the part they play in restoring La Fenice, and viewers witness the gorgeous fruits of their labor begin to take shape as all prepare for opening night.
