Teatro Comunale di Firenze, Opera house in Florence, Italy
The Teatro Comunale di Firenze features an elliptically shaped auditorium with 2,000 seats, one tier of boxes, and two wide semicircular galleries.
Inaugurated in 1862 as the Politeama Fiorentino Vittorio Emanuele, the theater began as an open-air amphitheater with capacity for 6,000 spectators.
The venue hosts the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino festival, which started in 1931 and transformed from a triennial event to an annual celebration in 1937.
The theater presents regular opera performances, concerts, and ballet shows throughout the year, with special subscription options for attendees under 30 years old.
Following war damage and renovations, the theater reopened in 1961 with Verdi's Don Carlo, introducing modern facilities while maintaining its original amphitheater design.
