Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you are in Sabbioneta you should go and see the old theatre. We were unable to go inside, but the architecture is very interesting.

Copied by Scamozzi, who completed the Teatro Olympico in Vicenza for the architect Andrea Palladio, this smaller cousin is beautifully appointed architecturally, with decorative frescoes. Rumored to be the first theater with changing rooms for the actors and women shared the stage with men....in the later 16th Century.

From the outside looks quite unnoticeable to host such a small jewel. It can be underwhelming if had visited the Olimpico in Vicenza and the Farnese in Parma, those are larger ones.
Small and cute. Worth visiting if in the area.

Impressive architectural stage, very good audioguide. Travel back in time to the heyday of the 16th century. Must see!

This theatre was built in the late 16th century for the Gonzaga family, which dominated the nearby city of Mantua and is unique as the first one housed in a separate purpose-built building since ancient times. It is very small with tiered horseshoe shaped seating in the stalls and a colonnade balcony behind. The perspective stage set has been copied in modern times from the original. A fascinating place to visit.

The second oldest “modern” European theatre after Vicenza, which I visited last year. This one is more of the classic “opera house” horse shoe shape, rather than the Roman semi-circle, so is an important progression. The stage setting has been restored, giving a meaningful impression of how it must have been used. Outstanding – worth going to Sabbionetta just for this.

The building does not look too impressive from the outside. But... the inside "hides" a really well-preserved Renaissance theater. It's worth to drop in and "meet" some history...

The first free standing, purpose built theatre in Europe. Built in the 1500s it is a really gem. Beautifully preserved and lovely to see!

One if the two must see sights here, other than strolling the town. The theatre is unique in its history. If you've seen the one in Vice sa than this is a secondary example. Worth a look if you're in the area.

Ritengo comunque che esista solo un biglietto cumulativo per tutte le varie attrazioni di sabbioneta. Ti consiglio comunque se avete un po' di tempo di fare il giro con la guida, ci sono tante cose da vedere e soprattutto da sapere per apprezzare ulteriormente questa splendida ed unica cittadella.
