Note: Bel teatro storico, eretto nel qua­driennio 1838-41 dall’arch. France­sco Vandelli. Più volte restaurato, l’edifìcio con­serva ancora il suo tipico aspetto ottocentesco e ospita regolari sta­gioni liriche, concertistiche e di prosa a cura dell’ATER. Ha una capienza di 1300 posti e fa parte dei cosiddetti « teatri di tradizione ». @it
