Erection of La Scala in Section Reconstruction by Piermarini

La Scala was by no means the first public opera house in the world. That honor goes to the Teatro San Cassiano in Venice, which was inaugurated in 1637 and the construction of which took place between 1635-1637 on the site of a previous theater dedicated to spoken theater and owned by the Venetian Tron family. This theater was managed by two brothers of this family, Ettore and Francesco, and was the first to sell tickets to its performances. When it burned down in 1633, the brothers decided to build a theater specifically to present "theater for music", declaring that purpose in 1636. The new theater was inaugurated in 1637, thus becoming the first opera house in history. Please refer to the Wikipedia article on the Teatro San Cassiano.

The theater continued in use until at least the last known season in 1798, and the French closed it in 1805, demolishing it in 1812, but others built theaters used for musical theater as well as spoken theater, in one of which, the Teatro Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Monteverdi's major opuses, Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria and L'Incoronazione di Poppea, were premiered.
