About

Teatro Dante (also called Cinema Teatro Dante) is an Italian theatre in Sansepolcro, a town in Tuscany, Italy, in the province of Arezzo.

The theatre was inaugurated on September 1, 1836, and was originally known as the Royal Theatre Dante (Regio Teatro Dante). The premiere performance was Vincenzo Bellini's opera La sonnambula (The sleepwalker).
