The first public theater, entirely made of wood, was built in Camerino in 1728 with the name La Fenice. The new masonry theater building, commissioned by the Town Hall and by exponents of the city aristocracy, was designed in 1845 by Vincenzo Ghinelli (1792 - 1871), an important theatrical architect who also designed the theaters of Senigallia, Urbino, Cesena, Fabriano and Pesaro.The theater has a horseshoe plan with three tiers of boxes and a balcony gallery. In the room the decoration of the boxes is of neoclassical taste and is the work of the Cameroonian decorators Girolamo Domenichini and Giuseppe Rinaldi. The proscenium boxes are closed within columns with Egyptian-style capitals; in the proscenium there are four medallions with the portrait of illustrious Cameroonians: Domenico Ridolfini, leader of the sixteenth century; historical of the seventeenth century. Alfonso Da Varano, poet of the eighteenth century.In 1905 the theater was the subject of a second restoration by the painter Francesco Fontana, who made five medallions in the ceiling with as many episodes of the Ruy Blas. Reopened in 1990, it contains in the understage remains of a cryptoporticus from the Roman era. Capacity of 520 seats.
Due to the earthquake of 2016, the theater is unusable.
