About Open Stage

Open Stage is the theatre season of the Quirino De Giorgio Theatre in Vigonza, in the province of Padua, curated by Stivalaccio Teatro. From November to April, the programme alternates big names from the Italian stage, classics reinterpreted with irony, and the best of Venetian commedia dell'arte. A quality programme that brings national-scale performances to a small village theatre.

Drama theatre comes to Vigonza

The Open Stage season enlivens the Quirino De Giorgio Theatre in Vigonza, in the province of Padua, with a drama programme that from November to April showcases important names in Italian theatre and productions from the Venetian tradition. The review is curated by Stivalaccio Teatro, a Padua-based company recognised nationally for its work on commedia dell'arte.

A programme between great performers and commedia dell'arte

The 2025/2026 programme features leading performers such as Lella Costa and Natalino Balasso, alongside classics by Goldoni and Machiavelli, and productions by Stivalaccio Teatro itself, from "Arlecchino" to "Mandragola". The offering thus combines the appeal of big names with a focus on comic and popular repertoire.

A cultural hub for the territory

For a municipality like Vigonza, a season of this calibre represents a true cultural hub: it brings theatre closer to a village audience and makes the Quirino De Giorgio a point of reference for the entire Padua hinterland. Affordable season tickets and individual tickets make the review accessible to families and young people.
