VALLI THEATRE REGGIO EMILIA
The majestic Teatro Municipale Valli, surrounded by public gardens, covers an area of 3,890 square metres. Every year, it hosts a prestigious opera and concert season, as well as a rich programme of dance, musicals and musical theatre performances. It has a media library and a historical discotheque open to the public. The complex was built between 1852 and 1857, according to the design of Modena architect Cesare Costa, and today appears virtually unchanged from the time of its inauguration. In 1980, it was dedicated to the Reggio Emilia actor Romolo Valli.
