We are again inside the Teatro Goldoni, this time on the stage: sets of scenography are dangling from the wood grating placed at about 30 meters of height.
We are now on top of the grating, just above the stage, and you can admire a giant terracotta jar: full of water it was used then as a primitive fire fighting device.
People working behind the scenes were proud of their work and wrote their accomplishments on the walls. Some of these writing have been left during the renovation of the theatre.This one says: “Newest Operetta Company, December 14, 1914”.

Great to see the backstage and I love the writing, wonderful to see that it hasn't been painted over!
Interesting! The first photo is great!
It's interesting to see what's goingon behind the stage! Terracotta jar is adorable!
Che coincidenza!
Oggi anch'io ce l'ho una vecchia iscrizione sul mio blog :-)
Belle foto. Scpecialmente la prima.
I like first photo most, great shot!!
We call those gratings the "catwalk" in the theater. Did you get to go up there? I have been on the catwalks in some large theaters before - it can get scary up there. I don't know how those lighting technicians do it.
Thank you for this look backstage. I am always interested in seeing all aspects of the theater.
Such a complicate work in a theater. I long to know how they built and used sets of scenography.
Why there's an ancient jar there?
I don't mind seeing old writings, sometimes we feel like in old time.
Is very beautiful to see the hidden
of a theater ...
Thanks!
I haven't been to a lot of behind the curtains places- so thank you =) Very interesting behind and beyond the curtains.
It's wonderful that they've kept the jar and even the graffiti. Now that's theater history!
Fantastic post. It's not often it's possible to see clues from the real workers behind the buildings.
It is always exciting to me when I can look behind the scenes! Thanks for this pleasure:)
