Teatro Caio Melisso
The ''Teatro Caio Melisso'' is an opera house located in Spoleto, Italy and it serves as the main venue for opera performances during the annual summer Festival dei Due Mondi. The theatre has undergone several transformations and name changes since the late 17th century. The ''Teatro di Piazza del Duomo'', also known as the ''Teatro della Rosa'', built around 1667 was modernized in 1749 and re-opened in 1749 as the ''Nuovo Teatro di Spoleto''.

Now renamed the ''Teatro Caio Melisso'' after a Spoletan writer, it re-opened in 1880 as a 350-seat, 3 levels of boxes plus a gallery opera house. The fact that two opera ...
