Teatro della Concordia (Theatre of Union), is located in Monte Castello di Vibio, of the Umbria region in Italy. It is the smallest theatre all'italiana in the world.[1]
The architectural plan of Teatro della Concordia is a bell shape, with deep narrow hall opening to a proscenium and stage, which is a typical Italian theater design.[2]
The theatre has only 99 seats, which are distributed in 62 seats in boxes and 37 seats in the stalls. The auditorium has an area of 68m2, the stage 50m2 and the entrance hall 29m2. The theatre has public performances, and is regularly played.
In 1997 the Teatro della Concordia started a partnership with the Teatro Farnese of Parma. In 2008 the exhibition area Sala Espositiva Nello Latini was opened in the basement of the Teatro della Concordia on the occasion of its 200 Year Jubilee. Edoardo Brenci, the president of the Società del Teatro della Concordia, organizes every year series of events with stage productions, concerts, expositions and other events.
Among the known artists who have given performances at the Teatro della Concordia are, inter alia, the Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida,[3] as well as the Austrian musician Johanna Beisteiner.[4]
