Teatro Cavallerizza, Theatre and Italian national heritage site in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

Teatro Cavallerizza is a theatre and Italian national heritage site in Reggio Emilia featuring a main hall with seating for around 500 people. The venue offers performances throughout the year across different artistic disciplines.

Built as a riding hall for cavalry training, the building served that purpose until the Second World War, then stood abandoned for at least a decade. Restoration began in 1984 to convert it into a theatre, with a central wall inserted to divide the single hall into a foyer and an auditorium. It opened as a theatre on 10 January 1989 with Marat/Sade by Peter Weiss, staged by Collettivo Teatro Due of Parma.

Officially named after Cesare Zavattini, a writer and screenwriter born in the province of Reggio, the theatre is still called "Cavallerizza" by nearly all citizens, after its former use as a riding school. Its non-classical structure and movable tiers have made it a natural venue for experimental theatre, mainly dance and prose.

The theatre is located at Via Allegri 8a and is easily accessible from the city center. You can find current performance schedules and ticket information on the theatre's official website.

The theatre participates regularly in the Reggio Parma Festival, which brings performances from both international and local artists to the city. This connection expands the variety of work shown on its stage.
