Teatro Metastasio, Opera house in Prato, Italy.
The Teatro Metastasio features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with multiple tiers of boxes decorated with white stucco and gold ornamentation.
The theater opened its doors on September 8, 1830, with a performance of Rossini's Aureliano in Palmira conducted by a local orchestra.
The building stands as a central performance venue in Tuscany, presenting both classical productions and contemporary theatrical works throughout the year.
Located on Via Benedetto Cairoli 59, the theater operates under the management of Fondazione Teatro Metastasio, offering regular performances and guided visits.
The theater's curved facade, designed by architect Luigi de Cambray Digny, incorporates refined architectural elements that distinguish it from other Italian theaters.
