Teatro Giuseppe Verdi, Opera house in Terni, Italy.

The Teatro Giuseppe Verdi was Terni's main theatre, built by Luigi Poletti on the site of the demolished Palazzo dei Priori, whose external staircase was reused. Inaugurated in 1849 as the Nuovo Teatro or Teatro Comunale, it held nine hundred people and staged opera, prose and dance. The building no longer exists.

Luigi Poletti, papal architect of the Apostolic Palaces, won the competition against a Perugian architect; the first stone was laid in 1840. The theatre opened on 12 August 1849 as the Nuovo Teatro or Teatro Comunale with Pacini's Giovanna d'Arco and Saffo. It held nine hundred people, and the inauguration curtain was painted with a scene from Saffo.

The theatre was inaugurated on 12 August 1849 as the Nuovo Teatro or Teatro Comunale, staging Pacini's "Giovanna d'Arco" and "Saffo"; the inauguration curtain was painted with a scene from "Saffo". Its name is written on the tympanum of the pronaos. Boxes were owned condominially by those who had funded construction and passed down through generations.

The theatre no longer exists: it was demolished, so there is nothing to visit on site. Its site lay along the ancient Via Flaminia, today's Corso Vecchio, in the Fabri district. The 1893 renovation added a brick fly tower in front of the stage, with dressing rooms cut into it; until then the artists dressed behind the scenes in wooden structures at the back of the stage.

The theatre was demolished; it no longer stands, so there is no auditorium to visit. Its 1849 opening featured Giovanni Pacini's "Giovanna d'Arco" and "Saffo", and the curtain painted with a scene from "Saffo" was later replaced by a velvet one, possibly kept in the theatre or the municipal picture gallery.
