The world of entertainment reopens: theaters and cinemas resume both outdoor and indoor from April 26


After a year of closures, the entertainment industry is reopening both outdoors and indoors: cinemas, theaters and concert halls will reopen in the Yellow Zone from April 26.

From April 26, 2021, cinemas, theaters and outdoor and indoor concert halls in the yellow zones will reopen after a year of closure due to the anti-Covid restrictive measures imposed by the government.

A note published by the Ministry of Culture states that the Technical Scientific Committee has accepted Minister Franceschini’s proposals for the restart of entertainment-related activities, allowing both outdoor and indoor cinemas, theaters and concert halls to reopen in the yellow zones, with an increase in eligible audiences.

Thus, there is an increase from 25 percent to 50 percent of the number of seats that can be occupied in theaters, with an increase to a maximum of 500 spectators (previously it was 200) in indoor theaters and 1,000 spectators (previously it was 400) in outdoor theaters.

Audience members, performers and staff will have to comply with all safety measures stipulated in the protocols. In addition, the Technical Scientific Committee, as requested by the Ministry, admitted the possibility for regions to authorize shows and events, with a higher number of spectators, by adopting additional safety measures.
