Many of the Italian Opera theatres built in small towns have not been deeply studied under an acoustic perspective compared to the most famous ones. This paper focuses the attention on small-sized theatres characterized by a horseshoe-shaped plan layout. The determination of the acoustic properties has been outlined by performing acoustic surveys inside each theatre. By analyzing the measured data, the results show comparable outcomes found inside the selected halls, with a negligible difference among them. Overall, all the four theatres have a good speech response, ranging between 0.60 and 0.74 in terms of sound transmission index (STI), with a small merit attributed to Benevento. These considerations should be combined with the sound perception with regard to the music performed inside these theatres. A trade-off between these two aspects has been well matched by the architects who were in charge to design these memorable places that nowadays are still impressive although not so many spotlights are given to them.

“…Overall, the ITDG in the balcony results in a value greater than approximately 10 ms at every source position than that registered in the stalls. This could be attributed to the reflections given by other construction elements (e.g., ceiling, horizontal beam of the proscenium arch) that the receiver in the stalls gets more than standing in the balcony, where the sound comes mainly frontally [37].…”

The acoustical characteristics of a room where the artistic performance is presented to the audience have a critical impact on the experience of both artists and spectators. It is important to know how the original aspects and the refurbishment works throughout the centuries are brought to the characterization of the sound field in such theatres, with positive and negative consequences. This paper presents the acoustical assessment of the Teatro Nuovo of Spoleto and the Teatro Alighieri of Ravenna, very important landmark centers for their historical and cultural activities. The acoustical characteristics have been gathered by placing the sound source on both the stage and orchestra pit, and the receivers in the stalls and balconies areas at different levels. It is of great interest to show the acoustical parameters of such Opera houses and some acoustical limits derived from intermediate interventions due to the need of the committees to allocate as many spectators as possible for income reasons. After an acoustic analysis of the existing conditions, the authors compare the acoustic behaviour inside the Teatro Nuovo of Spoleto using the image-source method (ISM) to investigate a change of ceiling configurations that occurred with the refurbishing works of the 20th century.
