Rialto Theatre Celebrates 20 Years

The Rialto Theatre will soon complete its 20th year of operation since the extensive renovation of the historic cinema by Limassol Cooperative Savings Bank.

Since its re-opening in May 1999 to this date, the Rialto Theatre has organised thousands of events, covering the entire spectrum of performing arts, and has managed to bring together more than 1.5 million spectators. During the past years, it has been established as a contemporary performing arts venue, one of the most important cultural organisations of Cyprus, as well as a loyal partner of the Ministry of Education and Culture, co-organising major state events and festivals, thus acquiring a dominant role in the island's cultural development.

To celebrate its glorious path and to honour the artists, associations and cultural organisations involved in the island's cultural scene, the Rialto Theatre organises a series of events, dedicated to its 20-year cultural contribution, to take place in May 2019.
