The Teatro Verdi is one of the most famous theatres in Florence, Italy. It opened in 1854 with 806 seats, built over what was once the 14th century Stinche Prison.
It was originally called Teatro Pagliano but it was renamed in 1901 in honour of the great composer Giuseppe Verdi.
The theatre, which has been operating since its creation, has expanded its programme to include popular performances, dance, concerts, plays, monologues and musicals.
