Teatro Marrucino, National heritage theatre in Chieti, Italy.
Teatro Marrucino features a neoclassical design with multiple tiers of boxes and a dedicated balcony staircase constructed according to Luigi Daretti's specifications.
The theatre opened on January 11, 1818, with Rossini's La Cenerentola, initially named after Saint Ferdinand before changing to Marrucino following Italy's unification.
The venue received Gabriele D'Annunzio's original manuscript of La figlia di Iorio after hosting the first Abruzzese performance of this tragedy in 1904.
The theatre maintains an active calendar featuring opera performances, classical concerts, and dramatic productions throughout the year under its Teatro di Tradizione status.
After facing demolition threats in 1851, local citizens successfully protected the theatre, leading to its renovation and addition of a new tier called loggione.
