Teatro Toniolo

Teatro Toniolo is a theatre in Mestre, the mainland part of Venice, with an Art Deco foyer and a main hall seating around 520 people on the ground level and approximately 220 in the upper gallery. The space hosts a range of productions including theatre, dance, and chamber music performances.

The theatre opened in 1913 and became a central cultural hub for the Mestre community from its earliest days. Over the following century, it remained a focal point for artistic activities and public entertainment in the area.

This venue serves as a gathering place where the Mestre community attends theatrical productions, dance performances, and concerts throughout the year. It functions as a cultural meeting point where locals engage with live arts in an intimate setting.

Tickets can be purchased directly at the box office or online for most performances, making it straightforward to plan your visit. Arriving early allows time to appreciate the Art Deco foyer before the show begins.

A Steinway grand piano was installed in the theatre starting in 2015, enabling the venue to host professional chamber music concerts throughout the year. This instrument allows for higher quality classical music performances than were previously possible.
