The Theatre, designed by Giovanni Francesco Lucchini, <\/span>was inaugurated on 24th August 1791<\/b>. The layout of the Italian-style hall (with three tiers of boxes and a loggia) in the form of an elongated ellipse guaranteed perfect visibility and excellent acoustics<\/span>. <\/span>The opera performed was the <\/span>Didone abbandonata<\/span>, conducted by C.B. Rovelli, the founder of a family of musicians from Bergamo.<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Teatro Riccardi (as it is now called) had a plastered fa\u00e7ade preceded by a small portico, vastly different from the monumental fa\u00e7ade of today.<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n
In the following years, the Theatre operated regularly in the permitted periods (spring and summer, as well as for the Fair), but <\/span>in 1797<\/b> a serious disaster occurred: <\/span>the Theatre was destroyed by fire<\/b>. The flames devoured all the wooden parts on the night of 11th January, the day before the start of the Opera Season. The incident has a political aspect, as it seems that the accident was not accidental but caused by people with an interest in creating disorder.<\/span><\/em><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
