In 1749, Giuseppe Galli Bibiena was not only redesigning the royal opera house in Dresden; he also produced these renderings for a free-standing theater on the banks of the Elbe River, in the so-called Italian Village. Four designs associated with the project have survived and will be housed in the SLUB following their exhibition in the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege: Italienischer Barock in Dresden (16 Nov. 1023 – 27 March 2024; curated by Jan Eining, Tobias Knobelsdorf and Martin Schuster). In 1753, the theater project was dedicated to the music-loving Crown Prince, though the building was apparently never constructed. https://www.denkmalpflege.sachsen.de/ausstellungen-4031.html
According to his travel diaries, the Prince witnessed Bibiena theaters in Mantua and Verona in December 1739, while en route to Venice. He also visited the Bibiena theater in Vienna on August 4, 1740.
