Pergola Theatre: all the shows not to be missed

All about the 2026 season

A season — the first under the artistic direction of Stefano Massini — that emphasizes the public and civic vocation of the Teatro della Toscana, reaffirming its fundamental role as a hub of participation, inspiration, reflection, and other gazes: different, new, and conscious. In light of this vision, here is the calendar of the new season: at the Teatro della Pergola in the heart of Florence, at the Teatro di Rifredi on the city’s edge, and at the Teatro Era in Pontedera, in the province of Pisa.
