Belle Époque: Between Elegance and Female Revolution

From March 8 to May 10, 2026, a tribute to the Belle Époque—an era in which fashion became a silent revolution and dressing turned into a declaration of freedom, where women were finally free to inhabit their own bodies and to display them, with theatrical awareness, in the grand performance of modernity.

Within this context, the present exhibition takes shape, bringing together twelve costumes entirely handmade and inspired by the Belle Époque—a period characterized by Orientalism, by the influence of the Ballets Russes, and by the dialogue between applied arts and the performing arts; years in which fashion became a theatrical gesture and a statement of identity.

The exhibition can be visited only on the occasion of performances, concerts, and guided tours.

Admission is free and reserved for ticket holders of scheduled events, starting one hour before each event.

Guided tours are available by reservation by writing to: pergola@teatrodellatoscana.it.
