Teatro del Giglio, Opera house in central Lucca, Italy.
The Teatro del Giglio features a neoclassical structure with a rusticated portico and a balustrade supporting pilasters that lead to a tympanum.
Originally constructed in 1675 as Teatro Pubblico, the theater underwent reconstruction in 1818 by architect Giovanni Lazzarini following a destructive fire.
The theater presents operas, concerts, and theatrical performances throughout the year, including annual celebrations dedicated to composer Giacomo Puccini's works.
Located in Piazza del Giglio at numbers 13 and 15, the theater contains 500 seats and received electrical lighting installations in 1911.
The name 'giglio' derives from the fleur-de-lis emblem of Maria Luisa of Bourbon, who selected this name during her reign.
