The Stadttheater Meran, or Teatro Civico di Merano, is the civic theatre of Merano in South Tyrol, northern Italy, designed by architect Martin Dülfer of the Munich School. Built in response to the town's development as a fashionable spa destination for Empress Elisabeth of Austria and the aristocracy, the theatre was designed in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style and completed in 1899, with its inauguration on December 1, 1900. Following Italy's annexation of the region after World War I, the Italians renamed the theatre after composer Giacomo Puccini, who visited the town in 1923. The building fell into decline after World War II and through the 1950s but was revived and renovated following a fire in 1978, and today stands as a cultural heritage monument in South Tyrol.
