Just a Small One: Teatro Della Concordia



The Teatro della Concordia in Monte Castello di Vibio lays claim to being the smallest theatre in the world but is no such thing with seats for up to 99 (87 according to some sources). Apparently built in approximately 1808 whilst it isn’t the smallest theatre it is one of the prettiest examples of a tiny theatre. As you can see from the picture this venue is almost like a childs version of one of the many grand opera houses dotted around Italy. It still have Opera’s and orchestra’s performing in this limited space to this day. So if you ever find yourself having a holiday in Umbria or Todi then this may be one of the sights you will want to see… I know I would.
