ゴルドーニ劇場は、現在も存在するヴェネツィア最古の劇場です。カルロ・ゴルドーニ劇場の落成式は1622年に行われましたが、その後、何度も増改築が行われ、また、再建もされています。当初、劇場はサン・サルバトーレとサン・ルカという名前でした。劇場は現在も<a href="https://venicexplorer.com/cs/the-city/geography-of-venice/san-marco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">サン・マルコ</a>地区にあり、市内各地から簡単にアクセスできる。

フェニーチェ大劇場は、ヨーロッパで最も有名なオペラハウスのひとつで、サン・マルコ地区の中心部に位置しています。当初から、ヴェネツィアの貴族たちのキャットウォークだったのです。貴族だけが誇れる華やかさと豪華さを演出できる場所。&nbsp;&nbsp;
1789年11月1日、劇場の設計と建設のためのコンペが発表されました。長い議論の末、建築家としてジャンアントニオ・セルバが選ばれた。1792年5月16日、アレッサンドロ・ペポリの台本によるジョヴァンニ・パイスエロのオペラ「I Giochi Di d'Agrigento」で劇場は正式にオープンしました。
フェニーチェ劇場は、火災で焼失したサンベネデットのオリジナル劇場に代わるものです。フェニーチェは何世紀にもわたって、何度も改修、増築、改築を繰り返してきました。フェニーチェ」という名前は、劇場を推進したグリマーニ家が、自分の灰から立ち上がる聖なる動物に敬意を表してつけたものです。&nbsp;
&nbsp;この新しい劇場は、すぐにラグーン都市で絶対的な重要性を持つようになりました。&nbsp;&nbsp;残念ながら劇場は1836年12月に破壊されましたが、トマソとジャンバッティスタのメドゥーナ兄弟によってすぐに再建されました。
&nbsp;1996年1月29日、劇場はメンテナンス作業を遅らせるために起きた火事で再び焼失した。2003年12月に修復が完了しました。共和国大統領カルロ・アゼリオ・チャンピ氏の出席のもと、リカルド・ムーティ氏がオープニングを飾りました。
フェニーチェは、イタリアの広場の構造をそのままに、独立したロジアを持っています。シアターホールは、音響効果を高めるために処理木材を使用しています。劇場は、シアターホール、5つのアポロホール、背景塔、2つのサイドウィングで構成されています。
現在、フェニーチェはダイナミックなヴェネツィアの街に欠かせない存在となっています。毎年、ニューイヤーコンサートをはじめとする重要なイベントが開催されています。シアターは最大1000人まで収容可能。推奨されるドレスコードに従うことをお勧めします。また、チケットの購入方法もウェブサイトに掲載されています。&nbsp;

1677年に建てられたマリブラン劇場は、ヴェネツィアで最も大きく豪華な劇場のひとつで、カンナレージョに位置しています。当初は「Teatro di San Giovanni Crisostomo」と呼ばれていましたが、1835年に「Teatro Malibran」に変更されました。ここでは、歌手のマリア・ガルシア・マリブランが、報酬を求めずに「ラ・ソンナンブラ」を演奏した。1597年に破壊されたマルコポーロの家は、かつて同じ場所にありました。
現在の劇場は、1919年と2001年の2回の改修を経て完成しました。現在、この劇場は、当時の構造を彷彿とさせる、より広いボックスと細長いギャラリーを備えています。マリブランには、毎年何千人ものイタリア人観客が訪れ、約900人の収容能力があります。&nbsp;
マリブラン・シアターでは、さまざまなアーティストやミュージシャン、そして最も美しいイタリアのオペラが上演されています。椿姫」、「ナブッコ」、「トロヴァトーレ」、「ファルスタッフ」などのジュゼッペ・ヴェルディの演目や、ベッリーニやワーグナーのオペラなどが記憶に残っています。&nbsp;
この劇場は、何世紀にもわたってヴェネツィアの社会で果たしてきた役割のおかげで、ヴェネツィアで最も有名なオペラハウスのひとつとなっています。それまでのオペラは、イタリア中の裕福な人々を魅了する、私的で高貴なサークルだけのものでした。&nbsp;&nbsp;今日、劇場は誰もがアクセスできるようになっています。&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2>History of Teatro a l'Avogaria</h2>
Founded by Giovanni Poli
Teatro a l'Avogaria was founded in 1969 by Venetian playwright and director Giovanni Poli, who had a vision of creating a space dedicated to experimental and avant-garde theater. Poli was a prominent figure in Italian theater, particularly known for his dedication to the&nbsp;commedia dell'arte, a traditional form of Italian theater characterized by its use of masks, improvisation, and stock characters.
Poli’s decision to establish Teatro a l'Avogaria came from a desire to keep Venetian theater traditions alive while also promoting contemporary theatrical practices. The theater quickly became a center for experimental productions and a hub for young, emerging talent. Poli's work was heavily inspired by Carlo Goldoni, the famous Venetian playwright, whose comedic works are still a staple of the theater’s repertoire today.
A Focus on Theater Education
One of the most significant aspects of Teatro a l'Avogaria is its long-standing connection to theater education. Poli founded an acting school alongside the theater, with the goal of training a new generation of performers in both traditional and contemporary forms of theater. The theater’s acting school remains an important part of its identity, offering courses in acting, directing, and stagecraft.
The school has a reputation for producing talented actors who go on to perform both in Italy and internationally. Many of the theater’s performances feature student actors, giving audiences the chance to see the next generation of Italian talent in action.
A Center for Experimental Theater
Since its founding, Teatro a l'Avogaria has maintained its focus on experimental and avant-garde performances. The theater is known for staging innovative productions that challenge traditional theatrical forms and explore new ways of storytelling. While Venice is famous for its grand opera houses like&nbsp;<a href="https://venicexplorer.com/explore/venice-theatres/teatro-la-fenice/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">La Fenice</a>, Teatro a l'Avogaria provides a more intimate and boundary-pushing alternative, attracting audiences who are interested in cutting-edge theater.
Over the decades, Teatro a l'Avogaria has hosted performances ranging from modern adaptations of classic works to original plays by contemporary playwrights. The theater is also a venue for performance art, multimedia productions, and experimental dance, reflecting its commitment to promoting a wide range of artistic expression.<blockquote><h4><a href="https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/venice-l35/city-cards-tc101/?date_from=2024-11-19&amp;date_to=2024-11-19&amp;partner_id=NWNDQWO&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=Teatro_a_lAvogaria" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Buy Venice City Cards from €10</a></h4></blockquote><h2>Architecture of Teatro a l'Avogaria</h2>
A Small Theater with a Big Heart
Teatro a l'Avogaria is located in a historic building in the Dorsoduro district of Venice, one of the city’s quieter and more residential areas. The theater’s unassuming exterior may not catch the eye of the casual passerby, but inside, it offers a warm and intimate setting for performances. With a seating capacity of just around 70 people, the theater’s small size ensures that every performance feels personal and immersive.
The Auditorium
The auditorium is simple and functional, with tiered seating that offers excellent sightlines from every seat. The stage is small, but this only adds to the sense of intimacy between the actors and the audience. Unlike larger, more formal venues, Teatro a l'Avogaria fosters a close connection between performers and spectators, making every performance a unique and engaging experience.
The theater’s minimalist design reflects its focus on the art of performance rather than on elaborate sets or decorations. This simplicity allows the actors and the script to take center stage, creating an environment where the storytelling is paramount.
A Venue for Experimental Set Design
While the theater itself may be small, it has become known for its innovative use of space and creative set design. Directors and set designers often take advantage of the intimate setting to create immersive, site-specific performances. The flexibility of the space allows for a wide range of staging possibilities, from traditional proscenium setups to more unconventional, experimental configurations that break down the barrier between the audience and the performers.

As a result, Teatro a l'Avogaria has become known for its innovative and daring productions, which push the boundaries of traditional theater.
Carlo Goldoni’s Comedies
Given its location in Venice and its founder’s passion for&nbsp;commedia dell'arte, it’s no surprise that Teatro a l'Avogaria regularly stages the works of Carlo Goldoni, one of Venice’s most famous playwrights.

<h2>History of Teatro Verde</h2>
Origins of Teatro Verde
Teatro Verde was built in 1954, making it a relatively young theater compared to Venice’s centuries-old cultural landmarks. The theater was designed as part of the revitalization of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, which is home to the historic Benedictine monastery and the famous&nbsp;San Giorgio Maggiore Basilica designed by Andrea Palladio. The goal was to create a space where art, nature, and performance could harmoniously coexist, offering Venetians and visitors alike a place to enjoy cultural events in a scenic outdoor environment.
The name “Teatro Verde,” which translates to “Green Theater,” perfectly reflects the theater’s integration into the natural landscape. The design embraces the surrounding trees, grass, and the backdrop of the Venetian Lagoon, making it one of the most idyllic venues in Venice. Teatro Verde was built to host performances as part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://venicexplorer.com/explore/venice-museums-galleries/palazzo-cini/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Cini Foundation</a>, a cultural institution founded by Vittorio Cini to promote the arts, music, and historical research in Venice.
Since its opening, Teatro Verde has played a key role in Venice’s cultural life, hosting a variety of events including classical music concerts, opera performances, theater productions, and even film screenings. Its location on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore has made it a peaceful retreat from the bustling main island of Venice, offering visitors a unique opportunity to enjoy performances surrounded by nature and history.
Part of the Cini Foundation’s Cultural Mission
Teatro Verde is part of the broader cultural mission of the Cini Foundation, which aims to promote artistic and cultural endeavors in Venice. The foundation, which was established in 1951 by the Italian businessman and philanthropist Vittorio Cini in memory of his son, works to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Venice.
