    The building, inaugurated on 27 July 2006, was erected by will of the popular singer Andrea Bocelli originally from this country.

    According to the original idea, the structure was created to be assembled and host only one show a year (hence the name "Teatro del Silenzio"). The construction consists of a circular "stage" with a radius of a few meters in the center of which stands a different scenography every year: the most famous, which has become the symbol of the Theater itself, is an imposing sculpture depicting a human face created by the Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj for the scenography of a Manon Lescaut and subsequently donated by the sculptor to the foundation of the theatre.

    Some blocks of Tuscan travertine were placed as a backdrop to the stage.

    On days when the theater is not in operation, the stalls are completely dismantled and the stage is transformed into an artificial lake. From here comes the definition of Theater of Silence, more precisely that place in the territory of the Municipality of Lajatico characterized by hills which, with (necessary) earthmoving interventions, was created, or rather simulated, as a natural Theater thus conceived.
