Intimate & Authentic Theatrical Venue |
Via Santa Maria 15 Florence 50125 Italy +39 055 277 9350 |
Featuring small opera and ballet performances as well as chamber music concerts, this pleasantly petite venue accommodates only 400 people making for a more intimate atmosphere. Dating back to the early 1700s, a long and detailed restoration of the theater was finished in the 1990s. Located in the middle of the Oltrarno district near the Ponte Vecchio, Teatro Goldoni is a lovely way to experience classic works in authentic Renaissance style. Review © 2007, Wcities |
