Teatro Lauro Rossi

The Teatro Lauro Rossi is a theatre in Macerata featuring a bell-shaped auditorium with three tiers of boxes adorned with ornate railings and balconies. The interior displays the craftsmanship characteristic of Italian theatre architecture from its period through its detailed decorative elements.

The theatre was commissioned in 1765 and designed by Antonio Galli Bibiena, then modified by Cosimo Morelli before opening in 1774. Its development reflects the construction methods and design trends of Italian theatre architecture in the 18th century.

The theatre hosts classical music, theatrical performances, and dance productions throughout the year. It plays a central role in Macerata's Opera Festival and demonstrates how the city maintains its artistic traditions.

The theatre is located on Piazza della Libertà and presents regular programming throughout the year. Check ahead for specific events and shows, as offerings change seasonally and vary in format and genre.

The building preserves one of the few remaining examples of traditional Italian theatre architecture in the Marches region. Its well-maintained condition and original decorative elements offer a window into 18th-century theatre culture.
