Teatro di Roma - Teatro Nazionale

Teatro di Roma – Teatro Nazionale, founded in 1964, has been a member of the Union of European Theatres since 1993. Its main purpose is to produce and disseminate theatrical art and to support theatrical experimentation, through the creation of performances and multidisciplinary projects. Teatro di Roma has several venues, namely: Teatro Argentina, an historic teatro all’italiana inaugurated in 1732, Teatro India, an industrial building, which houses three performance halls, inaugurated as a theatre in 1999, and the Teatro Torlonia, an eclectic-style jewel set in the museum context of the Villa Torlonia park.

Over the last 30 years, Teatro di Roma has been run by such notable people as Pietro Carriglio, Luca Ronconi, Mario Martone, Giorgio Albertazzi, Giovanna Marinelli, Gabriele Lavia, Antonio Calbi and Giorgio Barberio Corsetti, flanked by Francesca Corona.

Luca De Fusco, theatre, opera and radio director, has been nominated in 2024. With him, Teatro di Roma confirms its role as the Public Theatre of the City through the promotion of a balanced programme between plays, dance and music, including classic drama and new plays by contemporary playwrights. Teatro di Roma presents several performances per day, accommodating all forms of art and knowledge. It is a productive cultural enterprise established by means of sustainable management pursuing innovation while, at the same time, fully respecting the best tradition.
