Teatro Duse, Historical theatre in Bologna, Italy.
Teatro Duse is a theatre in Bologna with approximately 999 seats arranged across different areas of the hall. The auditorium is divided into a main floor section and an upper gallery level that together accommodate the audience.
The theatre was founded in 1822 and represents an important part of Bologna's theatrical history. In 2011, a group of producers took over management after the previous administrative organization ceased operations.
The theatre hosts a range of productions that bring together both classic and contemporary works performed regularly on its stage. Audiences here experience a mix of dramatic, comic, and musical performances that reflect both traditional and modern theatrical traditions.
The theatre is located on Via Cartoleria and is wheelchair accessible for visitors with mobility needs. Guests can leave their coats and belongings at the cloakroom before entering the hall.
The seating arrangement throughout the hall allows audiences from different positions to maintain good sight lines to the stage. This spatial design creates a special closeness between performers and spectators during performances.
