Great drama and dance in the historic theatre of Perugia
The Teatro Morlacchi, an 18th-century jewel in the heart of Perugia, is the main venue for the drama and dance season of the Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria. Every year, the programme brings the best of Italian and international theatre to the city, alternating great classics, civil theatre, new dramaturgy, and dance performances.
The season offers nationally acclaimed productions, world premieres, and regional exclusives, featuring leading directors and performers from the Italian scene. Alongside drama, a section dedicated to dance enriches the programme, while the Ridotto space hosts more intimate and experimental productions.
Under the guidance of the Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria, the Morlacchi season pursues the idea of "a theatre for everyone", with a focus on accessibility (performances with audio description) and support for the Umbrian theatre scene, promoting regional directors and actors alongside major national names. For Perugia and for Umbria, it is a cultural institution with a long tradition.
The 2026/2027 Season of the Teatro Morlacchi, curated by the Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria, offers 33 shows (25 drama, 5 with audio description, and 8 dance), with 5 international shows, 2 world premieres, 27 regional exclusives, and 5 titles at the Ridotto.
The opening is entrusted, on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, to the world premiere of "Oscar", a new production by Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria directed by Antonio Latella and starring Sonia Bergamasco. Director Nino Marino summarized the season's vision as "a theatre for everyone".
The season also includes 8 dance performances. Full schedule and tickets at teatrostabile.umbria.it.
The Teatro Morlacchi is located in the historic centre of Perugia, reachable by train (Fontivegge station) and by the Minimetrรฒ or escalators from the park-and-ride facilities.
Tickets and season tickets are available at the theatre's box office and through the Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria's online circuits.
A season ticket is the most cost-effective solution to follow the entire season; consult the calendar for individual dates.
