GALLI THEATRE RIMINI
Erected between 1843 and 1856, the Amintore Galli Theater was inaugurated in 1857 with the first performance of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aroldo. The project and neoclassical style were designed by Luigi Poletti, an architect and engineer of the Papal States. Originally called the “New Theater,” it changed its name in 1859 to Vittorio Emanuele II Theater. Only later, in 1947, was it dedicated to the composer Amintore Galli (1845-1919). The theater’s activity was interrupted in 1943 when the building was severely destroyed by World War II bombings: the auditorium and stage collapsed, while the foyer remained almost intact.
On October 28, 2018, after 75 years of silence, the theater was reopened to the public, welcomed by the extraordinary voice of one of the world’s opera stars, Cecilia Bartoli. The inaugural program continued for three months, with special events such as the theatrical performance of Giuseppe Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra, conducted by Valerij Gergiev with the orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater of St. Petersburg, and the show by world-renowned dance artist Roberto Bolle, Roberto Bolle and Friends.
