Report by the Mayor to the Commission
The Mayor of Venice, Paolo Costa, Commissioner for the reconstruction of the Fenice Theatre, met today with the Commission established under art. 1 of Law Decree 310/96, converted with law 401/1996, to which he desired be given a formal report on the progress of the works, which had already been disclosed publicly by regular updates on the Internet website dedicated to the reconstruction of the theatre, and illustrated to the Commission by the procedure manager, Roberto Scibilia, and the works supervisor, Gianni Cagnin.
The Mayor emphasised that work proceeds according to programme, and then confirmed that the opening ceremony will be held on the 14th December and will be followed by a week of concerts. As with the Malibran Theatre, the Fenice will then be handed back to the Work Management Department, for plant calibration and control centralisation, the termination of work on the offices in the Southern Wing, and the fine tuning of a rather complex machine, with particular attention to the acoustics.
The Superintendent of the Fenice Theatre, Giampaolo Vianello, added that by June 2004 the Theatre will move back to its historical site and will start training staff on how to use the various installations and scenery machinery, before opening its doors in September for the first opera, “La Traviata”, of which the first performance will take place on the 13th November 2004.
