Teatro al Parco
Parco Ducale
Parma, May 2024
“The Teatro al Parco is a permanent theatre in Parma, located inside the Ducal Park. The building was constructed between 1939 and 1941 as a venue for trade fairs on the initiative of the Municipality of Parma, which commissioned the project to engineer Ugo Pescatori. The exhibitions, called from the following year Mostre delle Conserve Alimentari, forerunners of today's Cibus, were held annually in the pavilion for about forty years without interruption, with the exception of a parenthesis during the Second World War, until the construction in 1985 of the exhibition centre near Baganzola. In 1987 the Municipality decided to use the now unused building as a public theatre, subsequently entrusting it, by agreement, to the ‘Compagnia delle Briciole’, founded in 1976 in Reggio Emilia and moved to Parma in 1979, where in 1981 it established the Stable Centre in Italy for the Production, Programming and Research of Children's and Youth Theatre, which later became the Stable Theatre of Innovation. In the early 2000s the building was completely renovated, creating a 400-seat hall and a 150-seat hall.” (Teatro al Parco, Wikipedia)
