Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti, Opera house in Spoleto, Italy.

The Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti is an Italian-style theatre in Spoleto with a horseshoe-shaped hall, four tiers of boxes and a gallery, seating 772. Its proscenium arch is 12 metres wide and the stage 25 metres wide. The decorations are by Luigi Masella and the historical curtain by Francesco Coghetti.

Engineer Ireneo Aleandri designed this theater, which opened in 1864 as part of the city's cultural development during that era. The opening represented a milestone for Spoleto's artistic life in the second half of the 19th century.

The theatre's name since 2010 honours Gian Carlo Menotti, the composer who founded the Festival dei Due Mondi and directed it; the renaming came in the year of the festival's association with the hall since 1958. The historical curtain, painted by Francesco Coghetti, depicts Hannibal defeated beneath the walls of Spoleto by citizens who poured boiling oil from a tower later rebuilt as the Torre dell'olio. It was restored in 2024 with funding from the City of Spoleto and the company AgriEuro.

Since June 2016 the theatre has been linked to Spoleto's alternative mobility system: underground lifts and travelators connect it with the Posterna car park. The horseshoe hall has four tiers of boxes plus a gallery, so check which level your seat is on. The stage is 25 metres wide behind a 12-metre proscenium.

The historic curtain, painted by Francesco Coghetti, shows citizens of Spoleto pouring boiling oil from a defensive tower onto Hannibal's troops. The tower was rebuilt and named Torre dell'olio after the event. The curtain was restored in 2024 with funding from the municipality and the company AgriEuro.
