The prose and live performance festival at Cinema Teatro San Pietro
The Cinema Teatro San Pietro in Mezzolombardo, located in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana in the Province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige), serves as the stage for the traditional Theatre Season. From November to April, it enlivens the community's evenings with prose, comedy, dance, and family-friendly performances. The festival is promoted by the Municipality of Mezzolombardo in collaboration with Circolo Culturale '78 and the Coordinamento Teatrale Trentino, with the support of the Autonomous Province of Trento.
The schedule alternates between a series of subscription-based shows and individual performances dedicated primarily to families and young people. Over the years, the San Pietro stage has hosted leading figures of the Italian theatre scene, alongside local companies and Trentino-based productions. Evening shows typically begin at 9:00 PM, while some events for children are held in the afternoon.
The Theatre Season is a well-established highlight of Mezzolombardo's cultural life, boasting a loyal base of subscribers. The Cinema Teatro San Pietro, located in Piazza Pio XII, also hosts weekend film screenings and, during the warmer months, outdoor projections in the courtyard. The venue is fully accessible to people with disabilities.
The strength of the festival lies in its ability to combine a close connection with the Piana Rotaliana community with an openness to the great names of Italian theatre. Alongside comedic and satirical productions, classic prose, and dance, the program includes more intimate offerings such as monologues and social theatre, as well as performances designed to introduce children and teenagers to the stage. It is a cultural project that, season after season, helps keep the theatrical tradition of Mezzolombardo and the entire Trentino region alive.
Tickets and subscriptions are available at the theatre box office and online via the Coordinamento Teatrale Trentino system. Presales open in the weeks leading up to the start of the season, with priority given to the renewal of existing subscriptions. For up-to-date information on dates, shows, and prices, please contact the Municipality of Mezzolombardo or visit the Trentino Spettacoli portal.
