Teatro Argentina, Opera house in Campo Marzio, Rome, Italy.
Teatro Argentina is an opera house in central Rome featuring a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with multiple tiers accommodating 720 seats. Its classical design includes ornamental details that frame performances throughout the year.
The theater was built in 1732 when architect Gerolamo Theodoli designed it on the site of the ancient Curia Pompeii. This choice of location connected the new venue to Rome's long history as a center for public gatherings and performance.
This venue premiered significant Italian operas and remains central to Rome's musical life, drawing visitors who want to experience the city's operatic traditions. Its location near other cultural institutions makes it a natural stop for those exploring the area's artistic scene.
The venue sits in central Rome at Piazza Argentina and is easily accessible, with performances scheduled regularly throughout the year. Check ahead to confirm dates and find out when guided tours are available on non-performance days.
Beneath the theater lie remains of the ancient Theater of Pompey, Rome's largest ancient theater originally built in 55 BC. This archaeological layer beneath visitors' feet connects two different periods of Roman performance and public life.
