Teatro comunale Francesco Cilea, Municipal theatre in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The Francesco Cilea Theatre features a horseshoe-shaped hall with three tiers of boxes, a central royal box, and a gallery accommodating 1,500 spectators.
Construction of the theatre began after the 1908 earthquake under Minister Giuseppe De Nava and Mayor Giuseppe Valentino, leading to its inauguration in 1931.
The first floor houses the Art Gallery of Reggio Calabria, displaying works by Antonello da Messina, Mattia Preti, and Renato Guttuso.
The theatre stands on Corso Garibaldi, facing Palazzo San Giorgio, with vehicle access and standard utilities available for productions and events.
The theatre underwent an eighteen-year closure from 1985 for complete restoration, following two decades of continuous artistic programming.
