Das '''Teatro San Cassiano''' oder '''Teatro di San Cassiano''' im Stadtteil [[San Polo]] von [[Venedig]] war das weltweit erste öffentliche Opernhaus. Es wurde [[1637]] eröffnet.

== Geschichte ==
Das Theater erhielt seinen Namen aus der benachbarten Pfarrkirche von [[San Cassiano (Venedig)|San Cassiano]] in der Nähe des [[Rialto]]. Es war in einem steinernen Gebäude der venezianischen Familie Thron untergebracht. Als "öffentliches" Theater kann es gelten, da es einerseits von einem Impresario geleitet wurde, die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hatte und Eintritt bezahlte, während zu anderen Theatern dieser Zeit nur Adelige Zutritt hatten.<ref>Irving Kolodin, ''The Opera Omnibus: Four Centuries of Critical Give and Take''. New York: Dutton  (1976). S. 50. ISBN 0-8415-0438-5.</ref>

Während der [[17. Jahrhundert]]s kann Venedig als Hauptstadt der Oper schlechthin gelten. In San Cassiano wurden einige der frühesten Werke dieser Gattung uraufgeführt, darunter  verschiedene Opern von [[Francesco Cavalli]] (etwa ''[[L’Ormindo]]'' und ''[[Il Giasone]]'' u. a.).

Zuletzt wurde hier [[1807]] gespielt und das Haus dann [[1812]] abgerissen.

It was considered 'public' as it was directed by an [[impresario]], or general manager, for the paying public rather than for nobles exclusively.

The original theater, for spoken plays, was built by [[Andrea Palladio]] in 1565. His wooden structure succumbed to fire in 1629. This was soon after replaced by a stone building, which was acquired by the Tron family. The first operas of the commercially run venture were ''L'Andromeda'' and ''La Maga Fulminata''. These were produced in 1637 and 1638 respectively, by Romans [[Benedetto Ferrari]] and [[Francesco Manelli]]. Ferrari and company stayed until 1639 when the business was acquired by a new company managed by entrepreneur [[Francesco Cavalli|Francesco Caletti-Bruni]], with financial backing from Venetian nobleman Cavalli. Caletti-Bruni composed most of the operas performed here in the six years from 1639 to 1645. After the 1650s the theater was surpassed by others, and its number of performances declined.

Towards the end of the 17th century Venice became the opera capital of the world as another ten opera houses opened. At this point the Teatro San Cassiano could count first performances of 37 operas. The last performances were held in 1807 and it was demolished in 1812, mainly due to recurring fires. The operatic period ''dramma in musica'' coincided with the early years of the commercial San Cassiano and was influenced by its composers.
