Theatre is one of Udine's cultural strengths,
an exemplary model of synergy between performance spaces, variety
of productions and the professional quality of venues and their
staff. Taking centre stage on the theatre scene is the Fondazione
Teatro Nuovo "Giovanni da Udine", hosting
programmed seasons of music, prose and dance since 1997, enhanced
by sophisticated set designs and a notably large stage and seating
area. Another point of reference is the municipally-managed
Palamostre, home since the 1970s to almost all the
city's most important cultural events. After a recent restoration,
it has been elevated to become the fulcrum of organized
programming, with a special attention given to contemporary
artistic expression.

Cinema in the city
Visionario and it is much more than a cinema. It is a new
space for culture in the city centre and a great centre dedicated
to the visual arts. It contains: three screening rooms (Astra,
Minerva and Eden for a total of 400 seats) a large gallery space
(with a 20-foot-long wall and a flexible area of 200 square metres
for hosting exhibitions), an Internet bar (110 square metres
covered), a multimedia library (to be opened in the second half of
2005), a meeting/conference room and a bookshop with the latest
publications (over 700 international titles in an array of genres -
photography, contemporary art, painting, architecture,
illustration, music videos and video art - as well as a vast
selection of DVDs - 500 titles chosen for quality in technique and
content, that range from the cinematic classics to the most famous
popular Italian films to Asian cinema).
