THE THEATRE TODAY  

With the addition of two reinforced concrete pillars, a project dating back to the Nineteen Seventies blotted out the original

With the addition of two reinforced concrete pillars, a project dating back to the Nineteen Seventies blotted out the original image of Le Muse and permanently separated the external theatre casing from its dull interior architecture. From here in, the new design by the two architects Danilo Guerri and Paola Salmoni "restored" a complementary rapport between the modern interior and the neoclassical façades, preserving as much as they could (the entrance staircase, the original lobby) and creating a certain degree of continuity with the external urban setting, where emphasis was placed on the most public places in the theatre (lobby, foyer, reception rooms). The result is a theatre-plaza featuring materials that recapture the nomadic and temporary spirit inherent of a "performance" (wood and metal, trellises and galleries) as well as the spirit of the urban monument (bricks and stones, rhetorical shapes and collective meanings).

 

Technical report

With its rehearsal rooms, reception rooms and acoustics researched in Tokyo and Bologna, Le Muse theatre is the biggest in the Marche, a special region as far as theatres are concerned, housing 78 theatres currently in use (and another forty to be reopened) for a population of a million and a half inhabitants. The new Le Muse Theatre is one of the most modern cutting-edge playhouses in central Italy.
