Teatro Astra is one of Schio’s main theatre and performing arts venues, with an auditorium that currently offers 879 seats. Originally conceived as a cinema, the building was equipped with a stage from the beginning, allowing it to develop over time into a venue for theatre, concerts, comedy and other live performances. Its distinctive character comes from this combination of a traditional cinema auditorium and a functional theatrical space.
The auditorium, arranged with stalls and a gallery, creates a good connection between the audience and the stage, while the enclosed layout is well suited to spoken theatre, musical performances and other stage productions. The venue retains a traditional theatrical atmosphere, and the entrance is accessible at ground level without architectural barriers.
The theatre is located at Via Battaglione Val Leogra 45, Schio, Italy. The entrance is reached directly from street level, while visitors arriving by car can use parking in the surrounding streets or near the railway station and continue to the theatre on foot.
