		And then the Fenice didn't burnt because of the Mafia or a short circuit: no, the guilties are two electricians.
		After the breach of the contract with Holzmann-Romagnoli (the old company that managed the famous Venetian theater's rebuilding) last April, the future of the new Fenice is clearer.
		This pit is the main newness of the new Fenice: when the theater will be finished in fact there will be in this area a modern, heated storehouse for the instruments of the orchestra.

		Archimede Seguso lives directly behind the Fenice, explaining the amount of passion he begins to feel after it has burned.
		This passion begins to directly correlate into his glass, and soon he is creating a whole line dedicated to the memory of the Fenice fire, his own rendition of how the opera house burned.
		It also tells the story of many American and English expatriates who went to live in Venice, from Daniel Curtis, who owned the Barbero palace where Henry James and John Singer Sargent were guests, to the poet Ezra Pound who lived the last part of his life in Venice.

		Massimo Cacciari, the mayor at the time, defiantly pledged to rebuild La Fenice "as it was, where it was." This rallying cry was not original -- Venetians invented it in 1902, when the bell tower at St. Mark's collapsed and they mobilized to put it back up.
		La Fenice was born as a kind of augur of better days for Venice.
		The first opera in the refurbished theater will not be mounted until next fall, after the acoustics are refined and stagehands learn the intricacies of the new machinery.

	classical music - andante - with reconstruction of its theater delayed, la fenice's opera company moves to venice's ...
		The ill-fated performers of Venice's Teatro La Fenice, who have been performing in a circus tent since their fabled home theater burned to the ground five years ago, will finally move into a proper temporary home next month.
		The name La Fenice means "phoenix," and the theater's reconstruction — its proverbial resurrection from its own ashes — was originally projected to be complete by the end of 1999.
		The city's oldest theater, the Malibran dates from the 17th century and was Venice's principal musical venue until La Fenice opened in 1792.

		The Theater Direction changed his position in the orchestra so that he was now at the side of Giovanni Arpesani, the famous double bass soloist of the time.
		When the theater resumed its activity in 1866, the strings were composed as follows: 13 first violins, 11 second, 8 violas, 6 cellos, and 7 double bass.

	classical music - andante - not just 'dov'era, com'era', but better -- the new and improved la fenice in venice
		In the emotional aftermath, the city vowed to rebuild the ornate 19th-century theater "dov'era, com'era" — "where it was, how it was." And with Venice lovers and opera lovers around the world raising funds through concerts, gala dinners and public appeals, La Fenice's reopening was set for late 1998.
		Expanding the theater would seem to be impossible, given the Renaissance square at the front, the canal at the back, the alley to the north and the building to the south.
		But the theater has recovered its pride and lived up to its name — for a second time, because the Fenice destroyed in 1996 was itself a reconstruction.

		The Gran Teatro La Fenice was one of the splendors of Venice; it was arguably the most beautiful opera house in the world, and one of the most significant.
		The Segusos were due west of the theater, however, and Signor Seguso calculated that if the wind did not change direction or pick up strength, the fire would advance toward the other side of the Fenice rather than in their direction.
		Except for Campo San Fantin, a small plaza at the front of the theater, the Fenice was hemmed in by old and equally flammable buildings, many of them attached to it or separated from it by only four or five feet.

		He writes La Fenice to discuss alternatives, none attractive and ends his letter "the damage and the unhappiness resulting from this veto are so great that I have no words to describe them."
		If you take away the sack, it is unlikely that Triboletto would talk for half an hour to a corpse, without having a flash of lightning show him that it is his daughter." The tragic climax of the opera is thus rendered absurd.
		La Fenice is now in crisis; the new season depends on a new opera by Verdi.

		ARCHITECTURALLY speaking, Covent Garden Theater, the leading English opera house, is not one of the sights of London.
		Munich has of late come to the front in operatic matters; the Court Theater, administered from the civil list, has long devoted much attention to opera, but interest is now centered somewhat on the new Prince Regent Theater, where an attempt is being made to outvie Bayreuth itself in the Wagner productions.
		We must therefore conclude our account of the German theaters with a short description of that built by Wagner at Bayreuth according to his own ideas of what such a house should be.
