La Fenice

Teatro La Fenice ("the phoenix") is an opera house in Venice, Italy. It is one of the most famous theatres in Europe, the site of many famous operatic premieres. Its name reflects its role in permitting an opera company to "rise from the ashes" despite losing the use of two theatres (to fire and legal problems respectively). (Since opening and being named La Fenice, it has twice burned and been rebuilt.)
