Description
The Teatro Angelo Musco is a small theater on Via Umberto I, in central Catania: this is where the story of the Teatro Stabile di Catania began in 1958, and the hall still hosts performances.
The auditorium is long and narrow, with about 300 seats: an intimate theater. Originally there were just over 250 seats, and a few were added when it was rebuilt after a fire. For a long time its program also included shows designed for schools.
Founded in 1957 as the Accademia del teatro, it was the home of the Stabile until the Teatro Verga opened in 1969, and then its second venue until 2016. In 1973 a fire left only the walls standing, but the hall was quickly rebuilt. In 2017, after closing over unpaid rent, it reopened under new private management.
