THE PROJECT
In the heart of our beloved community of Naples, Florida, a vision is blossoming. A vision that unites the passion for the arts with the serenity of nature. "Theater in the Garden" is a space that welcomes, accommodates and celebrates the ever-growing cultural life of Collier County with its more than fifty cultural organizations.
Invited by world-renowned tenor Joseph Calleja, Theater in the Garden's founders have traveled from Naples to experience the acclaimed Grange Park Opera Theater in England. The theater's proven interior and acoustic design is being replicated in Naples by its original creators, the internationally awarded Tim Ronalds Architects and Acoustician Raf Orlowski. This theater nestled in the countryside of London is surrounded by inviting formal gardens. It is famous for its superb acoustics and hosts one of Europe's major summer festivals.
The inspiration provided by Grange Park Opera serves as a model for Theater in the Garden in Naples. It will be a platform for world-class performances and a cultural hub for the entire region. With Florida's impressive population growth over the previous years, the need for a new multipurpose artistic space has never been greater. Theater in the Garden is an extraordinary venture that will expand cultural experiences and create a lasting legacy for future generations.
This magnificent theater will fulfill the profound need for a world-class facility, as revealed in a study professionally conducted by the Collier County Arts and Culture Strategic Plan, that can cater to its ever-expanding audiences. It will enable the performing arts to flourish with the elegance of ballet, the mastery of symphonic concert series, the grandeur of opera, the soul-stirring melodies of jazz, and the prestige of international voice competitions, film festivals, and other artistic disciplines.
Beyond its majestic performances, Theater in the Garden will be a guardian for the arts. Its enchanting garden, carefully designed to harmonize with nature, will offer a peaceful escape for visitors, encouraging a deeper connection with art and nature. It will serve as a place of respite, immersing audiences in a soul-nurturing experience that only fine arts can provide.
To ensure an unparalleled acoustical experience, Theater in the Garden features the universally acclaimed Italian Baroque horseshoe-shaped design with its deep stage and orchestra pit. It will transport you to the realms of artistic brilliance with its architectural splendor and craftsmanship.
The new theater provides a venue for artistic organizations to offer captivating cultural experiences by embracing technology and innovation both within its walls and beyond. With its outdoor screen, it will allow audiences to gather under the stars and enjoy awe-inspiring performances amidst the enchanting beauty of nature.
Theater in the Garden serves as the American home for the renowned Luciano Pavarotti Foundation, International Voice Competition, and Museum, exhibiting a collection of the late tenor's memorabilia, costumes, and items from his extraordinary career, as well as related touring exhibitions.
Your contribution of time, energy and resources ensures that Theater in the Garden becomes a testament to the power of the arts, a place where audiences and talent thrive, and a lasting experience for generations to come, creating a solution and a powerful impact on the cultural fabric of our region.
