Teatro Lauro Rossi is a theatre and opera house in Macerata, Italy, inaugurated in 1774 with Pasquale Anfossi's setting of Metastasio's libretto L'Olimpiade.[1] It was renamed in honour of local composer Lauro Rossi in 1884, the year before the composer's death.[2][3] The Teatro Lauro Rossi is now one of the venues employed by Sferisterio – Macerata Opera Festival.
In July 2026, the condominio theatres of the 18th and 19th centuries in Central Italy (including Teatro Lauro Rossi) were designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.[4]

Inaugurato nel 1774, con l'opera Olimpiade del compositore napoletano Pasquale Anfossi, venne intitolato nel 1884 maceratese Lauro Rossi (1812–1885)."
