Teatro Gobetti

Teatro Gobetti is a performance hall in central Turin housed in a neoclassical building with fluted pilasters and decorated windows. The interior features an elliptical vestibule, an octagonal waiting room, and a ceiling with sculpted cassettes and musical emblems framing the stage.

This venue was built between 1840 and 1842 by the Accademia Filodrammatica and opened on January 21, 1842, with the royal family attending the inaugural performance. It quickly became a center for important artistic and national events.

This venue hosted the first performance of a song that would later become the Italian national anthem. The space carries this historical weight in the minds of those who know its story.

The hall accommodates about 228 visitors and is equipped with wheelchair accessibility facilities throughout the space. The main entrance is located at Via Rossini 8, making it easy to find from the street.

The stage opening is framed by four fluted columns that support the proscenium, a detail that becomes visible when you sit in the audience. These columns, combined with the musical emblems scattered throughout, hint at the craftsmanship invested in every corner of the space.
