Calling all theatre lovers, there’s a new kid on the block to check out. Teatro, a new state-of-the-art theatre space, has officially opened its curtains in Sydney. This 300-seater venue in Leichhardt’s historic Italian Forum will set the stage for professional productions in the Inner West.
Taking its name from the Italian word for theatre, Teatro is the brainchild of international creative bigwigs, Nathan M. Wright and Andrew Bevis, who are on a mission to transform Sydney’s performing arts landscape.
Says Wright: “We’re creating the kind of theatre venue Sydney is crying out for – bold, professional and artist-led. Teatro is here to raise the bar for what audiences can expect from musical theatre in the Inner West.”
From musicals and masterclasses to cabaret and comedy nights, Teatro will have a strong focus on nurturing homegrown talent and making theatre more accessible for all.
Says Bevis: “We want Teatro to be a home for artists, audiences and everyone in between. We’re committed to providing a platform for emerging talent and creating a place that reflects the diverse, creative spirit of our community.”
First up, The Addams Family Musical, a fully staged production that’s set to open on October 3. This kooky-spooky Tony award-nominated musical will be brought to life by the stars of Theatre Bridge – Teatro’s in-residence training company. This production will offer audiences a first taste of the theatre’s commitment to championing the next generation of rising talent.
Looking ahead to 2026, Teatro will host the Aussie premiere of The Prom – a heartwarming Broadway hit about friendship and finding your voice – a perfect match for the creative, progressive spirit of the Inner West.
