Teatro Verdi, Opera theater in Santa Croce district, Florence, Italy.

Teatro Verdi is a theatre on the block between Via Ghibellina and Via dei Lavatoi in Florence. Its hall seats 806 spectators, including 6 wheelchair spaces. The stage is 14 metres deep and 18 metres wide with a 5% slope, the orchestra pit measures 16 by 4 metres, and the proscenium is 12 metres wide and 17 metres high.

The building opened in 1854 as Teatro Pagliano on the site of a 14th-century prison that once stood there. It received its current name later as the theater evolved and became a major cultural venue.

The venue hosts the Orchestra della Toscana year-round and presents classical concerts, opera, and contemporary performances to audiences. People come here to experience live music across different styles and genres in a single location.

The main entrance for visitors is on Via Ghibellina, while performers and technical staff use separate access points. Plan ahead by checking the performance calendar and arriving with enough time to find your seat.

The theatre stands on the site of the Stinche, Florence's prison for five centuries, sold by grand-ducal decree in August 1833 to Giovacchino Faldi, Cosimo Canovetti, Giuseppe Galletti and Michele Massai. They rebuilt the block between 1834 and 1839 under architect Francesco Leoni, with Luigi Manetti assisting, as a four-storey building of 22 flats with 188 rooms, 14 shops, a riding hall and a first-floor hall for the Società Filarmonica. The theatre itself followed around 1850.
