The Teatro Eliseo (literally "Eliseus Theater") is a theatre located in Rome, Italy.

History

Initially named Arena Nazionale ("National Arena"), the open-air theater was built of wood in 1900. In September 1910, the new "Apollo Theater" built in stone was inaugurated. The artistic program reflected the fashions of the time: operetta and variety shows alternated with opera. Two years later, its ridotto [ it] was detached and operated separately as a nightclub. The rest of the theater was renamed into Teatro Cines, a venue for film shows and a few operettas. In 1918, the theater got its present name. ^{[1] [2]}

Over the years the theater took on increasing importance, up to undergoing a makeover in 1938 that decreed its current appearance. ^[1]

In March 2020, the theater was closed. In December 2023, the Lazio Region announced that it would purchase the theater but then the deal was cancelled. ^{[3] [4]}
