Teatro Ariosto, Theatre and national heritage site in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The Teatro Ariosto features a semi-circular seating arrangement with cast iron structures, galleries on the first and third tiers, and box seats on the second tier.
Originally built in 1741 as Teatro di Cittadella, the theatre was destroyed by fire in 1851 and reconstructed in 1878 following the original architectural design.
The theatre's interior displays late Art Nouveau decorations by Anselmo Govi, including frescoes depicting scenes from Orlando Furioso with accompanying text on the dome.
The venue holds 780 spectators and offers ticket discounts for visitors under 25 and over 60, with performances typically starting at 8:30 PM.
The theatre's initial 1878 design incorporated spaces for both theatrical performances and equestrian events, following models from London and Paris entertainment venues.
