MUNICIPAL THEATER OF FERRARA
Considered one of the most beautiful examples of Italian-style theatre, the Municipal Theatre of Ferrara was built between 1773 and 1797, designed by Antonio Foschini and Cosimo Morelli, and inaugurated in 1798 with the opera Gli Orazi e i Curiazi by Marco Portogallo. It is located on Corso Martiri della Libertà, in the historic center just a few meters from the Estense Castle. On March 21, 2014, the theatre was dedicated to the memory of Claudio Abbado, founder of Ferrara Musica and a key figure in the city of Ferrara for 25 years with memorable operas and concerts.
