Teatro Francesco Stabile, Opera theatre in Potenza, Italy
The Teatro Francesco Stabile stands in Mario Pagano Square with a pink facade, three tiers of boxes, and a horseshoe-shaped auditorium that seats 361 people.
Construction began in 1856 and concluded in 1881, when King Umberto I and Queen Margherita attended the inaugural performance of La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi.
The theater ceiling features the Apotheosis of Pythagoras, painted by Luigi De Luise, reflecting the ancient Greek influence in the Basilicata region.
The theater opens daily from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM, with information materials available in Italian, English, and French at the entrance.
The building combines architectural elements from Milan's Teatro alla Scala and Naples' Teatro San Carlo, featuring classical-style decorations and references to Lucanian traditions.
