Teatro Pergolesi, Opera house in Jesi, Italy.
Description
Teatro Pergolesi is an opera house in Jesi organised across four levels with a total of 712 seats, designed in the neoclassical style by architect Cosimo Morelli. The interior layout reflects the careful planning typical of this period, with elegant proportions and well-positioned sightlines to the stage.
History
The building was originally named Teatro della Concordia and opened during the Carnival season in 1798 with a performance of Portogallo's "Lo spazzacamino principe". It was later renamed after the composer born in Jesi and has retained this name ever since.
Culture
The theatre takes its name from Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, the celebrated composer born in Jesi who shaped 18th-century music. The hall itself continues to serve as a venue for classical performances, maintaining the artistic bond between the composer and his birthplace.
Practical
The theatre sits in central Jesi and is easily accessible on foot from the main streets. Visitors should note that movement between the four levels requires using stairs, so consider your mobility needs when planning a visit.
