No heritage theatre machinery? Rendered unfit for use because of the 1980’s earthquake, the Theatre had been closed for nearly 14 years. It was restructured and inaugurated again on July 6, 1994, during the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Salerno Capitale (Salerno had became capital city of Italy for 5 months in 1944).
The plan and work management were entrusted to the architects Antonio D' Amora and Giuseppe Manichini who based themselves on the measurement and proportions of the San Carlo Theatre of Naples.
E’ un bel teatro storico, eretto fra il 1870 e il 1880 su disegno del­l’architetto D’Amora.
Built 1863-1872 by Giuseppe Menichini and Antonio D'Amora. Opened 15 Apr 1872 with Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Named in honour of the Italian opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). Ca. 610 seats.
