Teatro Politeama

Teatro Politeama is a modern theatre in Catanzaro designed with three main sections: an entrance foyer, a horseshoe-shaped auditorium, and a fly tower. The auditorium holds around 930 seats distributed across different levels to provide views from various angles.

The theatre opened on November 29, 2002, bringing a new performing arts venue to Catanzaro. Its creation represented an important investment in the city's cultural infrastructure during that period.

The venue serves as a gathering place for opera, dance, and theatrical performances that shape the city's cultural life throughout the year. Visitors experience diverse artistic expressions here, making it a central hub for those interested in live performance.

The venue sits on Via Jannoni in Catanzaro and is easily accessible from the city centre. Advance booking through online platforms is recommended, and you can reach the venue directly by phone if you have questions.

The building's interior design by architect Paolo Portoghesi features musical instruments like harps and violins integrated as decorative elements on balconies and fabrics. This creative approach directly connects the physical space to its musical purpose.
