LITTLE HISTORY. TOWARDS
1889, THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES, TORCUATO DE ALVEAR,
TAKES THE INITIATIVE AND CONDUCTS A PUBLIC TENDER FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE THEATER. IMMEDIATELY, THE MUSICIAN AND BUSINESSMAN OF
ITALIAN OPERA ANGELO FERRARI TRIUMPHS WITH HIS PROPOSAL AND, TOGETHER WITH THE
ARCHITECT AND COMPATRIOT FRANCESCO TAMBURINI, STARTED THE PROJECT.
THE LATTER DIED IN 1890 AND VITTORIO MEANO CONTINUED THE WORK,
INTRODUCING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. IN 1904, HE ASSUMED THE DIRECTION OF HIS
BELGIAN DISCIPLE JULES DORMAL, WHO CARRIES OUT THE TERMINATIONS
INTERIORS AND EXQUISITE ORNAMENTATION. AFTER ALMOST TWENTY YEARS OF
CONSTRUCTION, THE BUILDING OPENS ON MAY 25, 1908 WITH THE
OPERA AÍDA
BY GIUSEPPE VERDI.
