Résumé
Marie-Thérèse Bouquet-Boyer : Public and repertory in the Turin theatres. In the 18th Century Turin had two great theatres, the Regio and the Carignano, which were both linked to the Savoy royal family, but had very different audiences and repertories. The Teatro Regio, opened on 26th December 1-740, was built by the King of Sardinia, who wanted to own a permanent theatre devoted to Neapolitan opera which was then the rage in Italy. It was reserved for the King, the court, foreign diplomats and a few privileged individuals, and its season went from 26th December to Ash Wednesday. In contrast, the Teatro Carignano, built at the beginning of the century by the Prince of Carignano, was open almost all year to a much wider public, and its repertory ranged from opera buffa and French and Italian comedies to masked balls and puppet shows.
