Currently located outside the Excavations of Herculaneum, the theatre, still incorporated in the tuff bank, was excavated through a series of tunnels in the eighteenth century. The visit currently takes place through a series of flights of stairs and tunnels that allow you to see parts of the buried building, going down to the floor of the orchestra, paved in white marble. The stage space is largely occupied by two large eighteenth-century pillars made by Francesco La Vega for static reasons. The front of the stage presents the direction door in the centre, the two hospitales doors at the sides and four side niches, where the statues recovered from the excavations for tunnels of the Prince of Elboeuf were originally located, including those known as the Small and Great Herculaneum, now preserved in the Dresden museum.
