Open Stage Theatre Season
The drama season of the Quirino De Giorgio Theatre in Vigonza
About Open Stage
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.
Open Stage — edition 2026
The 2026 part of the Open Stage season continues the programme that opened in November 2025 with Lella Costa and Natalino Balasso. From January to April, the Quirino De Giorgio Theatre in Vigonza hosts five titles, including Italian theatre classics and productions by Stivalaccio Teatro, with a particular focus on Venetian commedia dell'arte. All performances are at 9:00 PM, with affordable prices and season ticket options.
