Teatro Comunale Luciano Pavarotti
A neoclassical opera house completed in 1841 where Pavarotti once made his debut. It is now named after him and hosts operas and concerts during the performance season.
This horseshoe-shaped theater was built in 1841 and has five tiers of lavishly decorated boxes, with seating for about 900 people. Both Pavarotti and soprano Mirella Freni were born in Modena, and after Pavarotti’s death the theater was renamed in his honor. The performance season runs roughly from autumn to spring and includes opera, symphony concerts, and ballet, with ticket prices more affordable than at major city opera houses. Guided tours are occasionally offered outside performance times. It is on the east side of the old town, about a 5-minute walk from Piazza Grande.
