Teatro comunale dell'Aquila, Municipal theatre in L'Aquila, Italy
The Teatro comunale dell'Aquila features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with 57 boxes arranged across three tiers and a gallery, accommodating 600 spectators.
Construction of the theatre began in 1857 after land expropriation in 1854, but works were delayed due to Italian unification wars and architect Luigi Catalani's death in 1867.
The theatre opened on May 14, 1873, with a performance of Un ballo in maschera and became the headquarters of Teatro Stabile d'Abruzzo in 1963.
The Sala Rossa foyer contains frescoed walls and a marble grand staircase, leading to the main hall measuring 150 square meters with the original curtain by Franz Hill.
The neoclassical facade displays five openings per level adorned with columns and features a triangular pediment at its crown.
