The oldest existing theatre in Venice, it has undergone restorations and closures, as well as having changed its name numerous times.

Today it is home to the Associazione Teatro Stabile del Veneto Carlo Goldoni.

Built in 1622, the theater has undergone numerous interventions in its long history. Erected by the will of the Vendramin family, it takes its name from this, although it is also known as Teatro San Luca or San Salvador.

Destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in 1635, it was further restored in 1776: on this occasion, the entrance was moved to Calle Berizi (now Calle del Teatro), an atrium was created and the number of boxes increased.

In 1833, after the umpteenth interventions, the theater changed its name to become the Apollo Theater.
