Barco Teatro was born from the desire of some entertainment, communication, architecture and cuisine professionals to create a multifunctional space in Padua that innovatively offers opportunities for theatre, music, art, dance, performance and food.
A place aimed at creating new ways of creating culture and entertainment, offering space for innovative and evocative artistic expressions and proposals.
Musical events always accompanied by a convivial moment, before and after the concert, which allows the public to eat tasty snacks and aperitifs while waiting for the concert – expressly prepared by the theater kitchen – and to bring the musicians closer at the end of their performance, in a pleasant and relaxed environment.
Barco Teatro is firmly aimed at young talents at an international level which it hosts and presents in the multi-instrumental festival “Scatola Sonora” which takes place annually with around fifteen concerts with assorted chamber ensembles and repertoires ranging from ancient to contemporary music.
Instrumental masterclasses with illustrious international teachers, workshops and seminars on composition, focused on contemporary music, finally contribute to identifying Barco Teatro as an authoritative point of reference for the diffusion of contemporary classical music, with particular attention to the guitar (solo and as an instrument chamber music).
Each concert is always preceded by a presentation by expert musicologists or music historians, to lead the audience to a better appreciation of themes and repertoire.
As regards musical programming, Barco Teatro has been admitted to the three-year 2022-2024 funding program of the FUS – Single Fund for Entertainment (Ministry of Culture).
