FIRENZE – TEATRO ROSSO

​Being an Italian themed ship, the main theatre naturally had an Italian name; Teatro Rosso.  Upon further investigation, it would seem that the Rosso Theatre (Teatro Rosso) is named after the legendary Rosso Hotel in the center of Florence, Italy, which is known for its distinctive red and grey color scheme. 
 
But enough history of its name’s origin, today the Teatro Rosso is filled with state-of-the art theatre equipment, as are all major cruise ship theatres.  Again, the question I get asked the most

---

- especially from high school students - is, do I need a degree to work on in a theatre on a cruise ship?  And still the answer is, it depends.  Check out the other posts below about the Firenze, and also check out my extensive interviews with two theatre management staff on board the Norwegian Bliss at https://www.cruisetechies.com/cruisetechies-blog/category/norwegian-bliss - one of whom had a degree and one of whom did not.
 
Again, disappointingly, Carnival would not allow me to formally interview their theatre staff for this blog (which is also why I won’t be able to schedule Discovery Cruises for you with them), so I was not able to bring you the ‘inside scoop’ as much as I would have liked, but I hope these Firenze blog posts have given you a bit of insight into the theatre and venues aboard the ship.

Please Like and Comment – I’d love to hear if you’ve had any experiences with theatres and venues on cruise ships (as a technician or audience member)!
