Theaters Umbria

The Theater stands from the 1st century of C.. It is a work by Gneo Satrio Rufo. The current appearance is the result of a series of restorations since the 1800s, still visible are the limestone arches. It is assumed that the theater had a capacity of almost seven thousand spectators. Today it represents the place where a marathon is organized during the summer.

The Teatro di Sacco was born in Perugia in 1985 and plays the leading role in the artistic scene in Umbria. It deals since many years with production and theatrical training and organization of events to live performances.

This is the headquarters of Teatro Stabile of Umbria and it is also the largest with its772 seats. it is the historic theater of Perugia (formerly Theater Verzaro) that now bears the name of the opera composer Francesco Morlacchi.

This small theater of 127 seats is located in the Palazzo della Sapienza of the '300, and even then there existed the stage and a gallery. Today we see it restored, embellishedby decorative painters Lemmo Rossi Scotti and Matteo Tassi.

In Perugia since 1948 to present, today it deals with the production and disseminationof the new drama at the national level. Also offering theatrical training, it is also addressed to the younger generation, but not only.

It is the latest theater of Perugia, opened in 2009 in the San Sisto, with an reception capacity of 332 spectators and an innovative LED lighting system. Fontemaggiore ismanaged by the Teatro Stabile di Innovazione.

The first information about the theater dates back to 1600, but the theater in the early 700 was destroyed by an earthquake. It was rebuilt later and over the years it had different denominations. Only in 1891 the city administration decided to name it to its most illustrious citizen Piermarini, after it had been renovated and modified in some of its parts, such as the three old doors with three arches.
