The acoustic design of the La Fenice opera house in Venice is reviewed for its reconstruction after a fire hit the theater on January 1996. The theater was borne out of a competition held in 1789, which was open to both local and foreign architects. Records show that wood was considered as the most convenient material to obtain a resonant theater due to its elastic properties. While there was disagreement over the best shape of the opera, there is indication that the semicircular curve was preferred.

Abstract
The acoustic design of the La Fenice opera house in Venice is reviewed for its reconstruction after a fire hit the theater on January 1996. The theater was borne out of a competition held in 1789, which was open to both local and foreign architects. Records show that wood was considered as the most convenient material to obtain a resonant theater due to its elastic properties. While there was disagreement over the best shape of the opera, there is indication that the semicircular curve was preferred.File in questo prodotto:
