Il Teatro Petruzzelli

Bari, il Teatro Petruzzelli

Il Petruzzelli è il quarto teatro in Italia per dimensioni e uno dei più belli d’Europa. Quasi ci si stupisce che già agli inizi del XX secolo, una piccola città di provincia come Bari potesse vantare un simile teatro, costruito per andare incontro alla domanda culturale di una popolazione a cui il vecchio politeama comunale, intitolato al musicista Niccolò Piccini, non bastava più.

Il Petruzzelli fu inaugurato nel 1903 con la rappresentazione de Gli Ugonotti di Giacomo Meyerbeer. Il teatro, animato da un vivacissimo cartellone culturale, ha visto alternarsi sul suo palco artisti di fama internazionale. Si caratterizza all’esterno per la sua facciata eclettica che riecheggia forme classicheggianti e si arricchisce di elementi decorativi di stampo liberty e art Nouveau. All’interno il foyer, esuberantemente decorato, vantava sulla sua cupola gli affreschi del pittore pugliese Raffaele Armenise, andati distrutti nel corso del terribile rogo che la notte del 27 ottobre 1991, a conclusione della Norma di Bellini, distrusse il teatro. Solo nel 2009, a seguito di lunghi restauri e annose polemiche, che hanno infuocato la vita politica cittadina, il Petruzzelli è stato nuovamente aperto al pubblico.

The Teatro Petruzzelli is the fourth theatre in Italy in size and one of the most beautiful in Europe. It is nearly surprising that as early as the beginning of the 20th century, a small provincial town like Bari could boast a similar theatre, built to meet the cultural demand of people who deemed the old municipal theatre – dedicated to the musician Niccolò Piccinni – no longer sufficient. The Teatro Petruzzelli was inaugurated in 1903 with the performance Les Huguenots by Giacomo Meyerbeer. The theatre, enlivened by a very rich cultural program, with world-famous artists on its stage, is externally characterized by an eclectic façade that recalls classical style shapes and is enriched with Stile Liberty and Art Nouveau decoration. Inside the theatre, the foyer, abundantly decorated, could boast the frescoes by the Apulian painter Raffaele Armenise on its dome. They were destroyed during the terrible fire that demolished the theatre on October 27, 1991 at the end of the play Norma by Bellini. Only in 2009, after long restoration and age-old debates, which inflamed the city political life, the Teatro Petruzzelli was reopened to the public.
