Teatro Cavour

Teatro Cavour is a theatre in central Pescara whose programme has included prose, new writing and dialect comedy. Its recent history includes a return to activity in 2023 and an actor-training programme connected with the Centro di produzione teatrale Diario di bordo.

Why it matters

The theatre contributes to Pescara's cultural life beyond the city's large public events. Its programme has brought together visiting companies, local authors and performers, as well as work associated with Abruzzo's theatrical tradition.

What to notice

The theatre's intimate scale suits both prose and dialect productions. Its programming has also included actor training and new writing, linking performances with the development of local theatre practice.

Context and history

Teatro Cavour resumed activity in November 2023 with a training course for aspiring actors. Giuseppe Pomponio took over artistic direction from Roberto Falone, working with Lina Bartolozzi. The theatre's subsequent seasons included the D'ombre e di luci review and a programme of monthly performances.
