It was built to celebrate the visit of Cosimo II de Medici to Parma. At one time it was the largest theatre in the world (4,500 seats) and it became an example for its uniqueness, from the moving scenery to devices which could lift actors high into the air. It was even possible to flood the theatre with water so that nautical scenes and battles could be staged! Definitely to be seen if you're in Parma - I loved coming here.

I am ashamed i have been walking in front of it almost every day for a year without having the curiosity to look inside... It is a theater but there are also music concerts, you can have a look at the program on the website here http://www.teatrodellapergola.com/ It is an old beautiful theater (17th century, under the patronage of a Medici - again - according to wikipedia) with two rooms, the sala Grande (the one you can see on my pictures) and Sallocino a former ballroom located upstairs that i have not seen. Do not save on your effort and please raise your head to admire the ceilings: so beautiful. The whole theater is in really good shape, well renovated. I went to listen to a concert of classical music, it was my first time and i enjoyed a lot - and i guess the beautiful surroundings were also responsible for the good time i had. And even if the theater is old, the seat are not so uncomfortable as they sometimes are! At the intermission, you can head to the very nice bar to have a quick cake (not tasted yet!)...

Tickets here are definitely affordable, and will enhance the overall Firenze experience for any tourist. Sure, you appreciate the fantastic art that is in the city's museums, but here you're experiencing it live, first hand - it's something you'll always remember, and a wonderful way to end a day in Italy.

We just got kicked out after purchasing our tickets because I am not vaccinated. I am flying back home today so I have negative covid test results from today that I provided, regardless we were still denied. It was a very negative experienced getting kicked out over something so silly and illogical. I would imagine this is how the jews felt during Nazi Germany. No papers no access. I felt sad today for my Italian brothers and sisters oppressed by their government. Luckily after a lot of back and forth we managed to get a refund.
