The Great Theater of Brescia is the main theater in Brescia, located halfway along Corso Giuseppe Zanardelli. It was built and modernized several times, over a period of time ranging from the first half of the eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth.
The name "Grande" derives from the previous denomination "Il Grande" in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte. In addition to having established itself as the main city theater, the Grande was recognized as a national monument with a deed of restriction dated 22 March 1912.
During the 20th century it also acquired increasing importance among national theaters until, in the 1970s, the Italian State identified it as one of the traditional Italian theaters (today 28), recognizing for the first time the cultural functions , social and educational activities of the musical, lyric-symphonic programming and/or production activities of these theatres, commonly characterized by strong roots in areas of the territory where an artistic-cultural tradition is significant.
The activities of the Teatro Grande range from opera to dance and concerts of both classical and modern-contemporary music, up to projects for children and training workshops.
