Theatre entertainment in Rome

  1. A

    Teatro India

    Inaugurated in 1999 in the postindustrial landscape of Rome’s southern suburbs, the India is the younger sister of the Teatro Argentina. It’s a starkly modern space in a converted industrial building, a fitting setting for its cutting-edge programme, with a calendar of international and Italian works.

  2. B

    Anfiteatro del Tasso

    The setting is extraordinary: an amphitheatre overlooking Rome’s rooftops that was built over 300 years ago. The productions are extraordinary too, for different reasons, featuring hammy turns in Greek and Roman comedy and the odd 18th-century drama, but they’re always great fun.

  3. C

    Teatro Quirino

    Within splashing distance of the Trevi Fountain, this grand 19th-century theatre produces the odd new work and a stream of well-known classics – expect to see works (in Italian) by Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare, Seneca and Luigi Pirandello.

    English Theatre of Rome

    The English Theatre of Rome stages a mix of contemporary and classic plays, stand-up comedians and bilingual productions, mainly at the Teatro L’Arciliuto, near Piazza Navona, and occasionally at other venues.
