Teatro della Pergola, Baroque theatre in Florence, Italy.
Teatro della Pergola features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with three levels of boxes and a gallery, accommodating 1,000 spectators within its classical interior design.
Commissioned by Cardinal Giancarlo de' Medici and designed by architect Ferdinando Tacca, the theatre first opened its doors to performances in 1656.
The venue hosted first performances of notable operas, including works by Mozart, Donizetti's Parisina, and Verdi's Macbeth in 1847.
The theatre contains two performance spaces: the main Sala Grande seating 1,500 people and the Saloncino recital hall accommodating 400 attendees.
Teatro della Pergola introduced the first theatre design with superposed tiers of boxes, departing from traditional Roman semi-circular seating arrangements.
