Teatro Accademia, Theatre in Conegliano, Italy.
Teatro Accademia is a neoclassical theatre on Piazza Cima in Conegliano, reached by a staircase flanked by two stone sphinxes. Its large facade has a projecting central portico and four plain pediments, two on the side wings and two stacked on the central block, with statues decorating the loggia and some windows.
Construction began under Austrian rule and was completed in 1868 to replace the old Teatro Concordia in Contrada Borghetto, which had become too small. The architect was Andrea Scala of Udine, and the theatre opened on 5 September 1869 with Rossini's Il Conte Ory. It was renovated several times from 1937 and has also shown films since 1946; the 2019/2020 season marked 150 years of activity.
