Teatro Margherita

Teatro Margherita is a former theatre in the city of Bari, Apulia on the east coast of Italy.

This agreement stated that the city administration would not build any other theaters on municipal land, except for those constructed by the sea.

The theatre was constructed to replace the original Varietà Margherita, a wooden building that opened on October 5, 1910.

The wooden theatre faced severe criticism both from local entrepreneurs, who had presented a similar project without approval, and from the Messeni brothers, owners of the Petruzzelli Theatre, who saw the Varietà Margherita as a potential competitor.

The original wooden Margherita Theatre had a short life, as it was destroyed by a violent fire on July 22, 1911, at 3 a.m., which razed the building within an hour.
