Teatro Politeama Giuseppe Verdi, Opera house in Carrara, Italy.
The Teatro Politeama Giuseppe Verdi stands on the north side of Piazza Matteotti, featuring two levels of arches and simple interior decorations.
The theater opened its doors in 1892 with a performance of Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi, performed by an international cast of singers.
Between its inauguration and 1904, the theater presented twenty-nine operas, including performances of La Traviata and Carmen by visiting companies.
The main hall accommodates 1500 spectators and incorporates advanced construction techniques from the 1890s, including high ceilings and ventilation systems.
In 1901, composer Giacomo Puccini directed a performance of Tosca at the theater, establishing it as a testing ground for companies aspiring to perform at Teatro Regio di Parma.
