Teatro Nazionale Firenze: 15% off for Plus Florence guests
Florence is a city to experience one step at a time. Between piazzas, museums, unexpected views and places that tell centuries of history, every day can take a different direction.
And there is another, less familiar way to step into the city’s stories: taking a seat at the theatre.
Just a few steps from Piazza della Signoria, Teatro Nazionale Firenze is a small historic theatre that today combines the charm of its setting with music, visuals and immersive technology.
A place to discover Florence from a different perspective, through storytelling, performance and atmosphere.
If you’re staying at Plus Florence, stop by reception: you’ll find all the information you need, along with a 15% discount reserved for Plus guests on two experiences currently on the programme.
Florence Behind the Curtain: a different perspective on Florence
There are the places and stories of Florence that everyone knows. And then there are details, characters and curiosities that often remain in the background.
Florence Behind the Curtain brings them to the stage through visuals, sound and immersive technology, creating a journey through episodes and personalities from the city’s history.
The show lasts 40 minutes and runs every hour from 10:00 to 16:00.
An experience that fits easily into your day, between a museum visit and a walk through the historic centre, adding a new perspective to your time in Florence.
Voci d’Italia: an evening dedicated to Italian opera
As evening arrives, Teatro Nazionale changes atmosphere and gives centre stage to music.
With Voci d’Italia – An Enveloping Opera Night, tenors, sopranos and baritones perform some of the best-known arias from the Italian operatic tradition.
An opportunity to discover opera, even for the first time, in an intimate setting that brings the audience, music and performers closer together.
The evening begins at 19:30 with a welcome drink, while the performance starts at 20:30.
