Built between 1826 and 1831, designed by the architect Carlo Barabino, it is an example of the traditional Italian horseshoe shaped, development. It has a capacity of 2,000. It was badly damaged by bombing in the Second World War, and almost completely rebuilt at the beginning of the 1990's by the architects I. Gardella and A. Rossi. The original neo-classical features of the pronaus and the portico were incorporated into the new building, whose imposing triangular tower, visible from many parts of the city, hides a sophisticated scenic mechanism which places this theatre among the most advanced in Italy. It has provoked both great amazement and furore among the Genovese on account of the internal design, including balconies, shutters and slate coverings, as if it were several houses in the historic centre facing onto a typical Ligurian piazza.
