Stagione Teatrale del Teatro Verdi di Fiorenzuola d'Arda
Great drama, music, and dance in the historic theatre of Val d'Arda
About Teatro Verdi Fiorenzuola
A historic theatre in the heart of Val d'Arda
The Giuseppe Verdi Municipal Theatre is one of the symbolic venues of Fiorenzuola d'Arda, a town in the Province of Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna. Inaugurated in the mid-nineteenth century, this elegant Italian-style theatre, overlooking Via della Liberazione, has been the cultural reference point for Val d'Arda for over a century and a half. Every year, between October and April, it hosts a theatre season that alternates drama, music, and dance, capable of attracting an audience from all over the province to Fiorenzuola.
A season of great names
The programming, entrusted to the artistic direction and promoted by the Municipality of Fiorenzuola d'Arda, focuses decisively on quality: each season features leading performers from Italian theatre and cinema, drama productions that reinterpret classics, civil monologues, brilliant comedies, and live music evenings. It is a season designed for a provincial theatre that does not renounce ambition, and which for years has managed to bring names usually seen in large venues to a small hall.
Drama, music, and dance together
The heart of the season is drama, with evening performances usually starting at 8:45 PM. Alongside the theatrical events, the programme always reserves space for music, with a series of subscription and non-subscription concerts, and for dance. The result is a varied calendar that, over six months, accompanies spectators from autumn to spring with a new offering almost every week.
How it works
- Season from October to April, with mid-week and weekend performances.
- Season tickets for drama and concerts, as well as single ticket sales.
- The Verdi Theatre box office in Via della Liberazione 39, open on performance days.
- Information and reservations through the cultural office of the Municipality of Fiorenzuola d'Arda.
For those living in Fiorenzuola and the surrounding towns of Val d'Arda, the Verdi season is a regular winter event; for those coming from further afield, it is an opportunity to discover a small historic theatre where you can see the stars of the national scene up close.
