Historic Asolo Theater

An 18th-century treasure in a 21st-century venue, the Historic Asolo Theater is a work of art in its own right. The palace playhouse was created in Asolo, Italy in 1798 to honor the 15th-century exiled Queen Catherine Cornaro of Cyprus. In the late 1940s, the theater was dismantled and brought to the Ringling Estate.

In 2006, after years of painstaking restoration, the 265-seat theater was reset in the John M. McKay Visitors Pavilion just inside the historic Cà d'Zan Gatehouse on the Ringling estate. All levels are wheelchair accessible.
