Politeama Rossetti, Theatre building in Trieste, Italy
Description
The Politeama Rossetti is a theatre building in Trieste featuring two performance spaces: the Sala Bartoli with 128 seats and the larger Sala Assicurazioni Generali with 1530 seats for different productions. The building accommodates various event sizes through these separate spaces.
History
The building was constructed in 1878 by architect Nicolò Bruno and opened on April 27 with a ballet performance. Its founding marked the beginning of a long tradition as a major cultural center in the city.
Culture
The theatre has been home to the Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia since 1969 and shapes the cultural life of Trieste as a permanent venue for regional theatre. Residents and visitors come here to experience contemporary and classical productions from an established company.
Practical
The theatre is located at Viale XX Settembre 45 and presents around 60 performances during its season from October to June. Visitors should plan their tickets in advance, as popular shows often sell out quickly.
Did you know?
The main facade follows the hill gradient along Viale XX Settembre and incorporates this natural slope into the architectural design. This special placement gives the entrance an asymmetrical form that becomes immediately apparent when arriving.
