Michele Mezzanotte's Tutto ok is staged at Nuovo Teatro Orione on Tuesday, April 20, 2027 at 21:00, with tickets at €38 in the orchestra and €29.90 in the gallery plus fees. It is the Rome stop of a tour crossing Italy from November 2026 to April 2027.

Tuesday, April 20, 2027, starting at 21:00. It's a weeknight, midweek: the date is designed for a city audience that leaves work, has dinner and goes to the theater. Door opening time is not published. It's best to arrive at least 20 minutes early.

Prices

Only two price levels: orchestra at €38, gallery at €29.90. Prices include the presale fee set by the organizer, and service fees are added at the time of purchase.

Who organizes it

The organizer listed on the official network is Nuovo Teatro Verdi, a company based in Montecatini Terme that also organizes other shows in Rome in the same season. For refunds and information on the individual event, contact the organizer through the sales network.

The theater's name

The sales network writes Teatro Orione, while the hall today presents itself as Nuovo Teatro Orione. It is the same theater, at Via Tortona 7.

Who Michele Mezzanotte is, the psychologist who does theater

Michele Mezzanotte is a psychologist and psychotherapist who, after his stage debut last season with the show Chiedi allo psy, has returned to Italian theaters with a new work, Tutto ok. The official presentations describe him this way: a psychology professional who uses the stage to tell some moments of daily life and offer the audience small tips on how to handle them.

Chiedi allo psy

His first show, Chiedi allo psy, marked Mezzanotte's move from the consulting room to the stage. The success of that first tour, according to the press releases issued for the new tour, opened the way to a second show and a wider calendar, with theaters all over Italy.

A format halfway between

Tutto ok is a monologue that sits between comic storytelling and reflection. It is not a lecture and not a group therapy session: it is a show in which the audience can recognize itself in the situations told, laugh at its own mechanisms and take home a few ideas. The tone, from what you read in the presentations, is one of irony that doesn't give up depth.

The audience

The audience Tutto ok speaks to is made of people looking for simple words to name anxiety, fatigue and difficult relationships. In the theater this audience becomes a hall that laughs and nods together, recognizing itself in the same situations.

Tutto ok: what the show is about

Tutto ok tells of the moments in life when it seems everything is falling apart: when the ground seems to give way under your feet, the way out looks far off and you can't move forward. Mezzanotte builds his story on these moments, with the stated aim of showing how you get out of them.

Hitting bottom and digging

The presentation by Teatro Verdi in Genoa, one of the tour stops, describes the show starting from a paradox: just when you think you've hit bottom, you start digging, until you reach the madness of life. To get out of it, the text says, sometimes you have to go crazy, with class. It's a formula that sets the tone of the evening: crisis told without drama, with a gaze that finds the comic side even in the hardest moments.

Saving yourself from a world that destroys

The tour press release speaks of a show that explains how to save yourself from a world that tries to crush the individual, and how, often, you need to do something unforgivable to start living again. Put that way it sounds heavy. On stage, the language is that of comic monologue, and the unforgivable is often a small act of everyday freedom.

The anxiety of looking fine

The title, Tutto ok ("everything's OK"), is the answer you give when someone asks how you're doing and you don't feel like explaining. The presentations insist on exactly this: the anxiety of always having to look fine, always efficient, always in control. The show takes that automatic answer and takes it apart piece by piece.

A quote from Jung

Teatro Verdi in Genoa closes its presentation with a sentence attributed to Carl Gustav Jung, which invites you to accept your own madness too. It's a clue to the tone: psychology as a tool to look at yourself with more indulgence, not as an instruction manual.

Who Michele Mezzanotte's Tutto ok is for

Tutto ok is for anyone who recognizes something of themselves in the automatic answer of the title: people who say everything is fine when it isn't, people who feel obliged to look efficient, people going through a tired patch and looking for a light way to see it from outside.

If you saw Chiedi allo psy

If you saw the first show, you'll find the same author and the same outlook, with a new theme. Chiedi allo psy started from questions. Tutto ok starts from crises, and from the way out of them.

If you don't know the author

If you arrive without knowing Mezzanotte, you need no preparation: the monologue is built on common situations, and the language is everyday language. In our view it is the unsuspecting spectator who is most likely to come out surprised.

If you are looking only for laughs

If you want an evening of pure comedy, you should know that Tutto ok alternates laughter and reflection. You laugh, but the thread of the story also leads to more serious moments: it's part of the deal with the audience.

The Tutto ok tour in Italy

The Tutto ok tour began on November 21, 2026 at Auditorium San Francesco al Prato in Perugia and ends on April 22, 2027 at Teatro Dehon in Bologna. Rome is one of the last stops.

The winter dates

After Perugia, the show played Teatro Corso in Mestre on December 13, Teatro Nuovo in Verona on January 15, Teatro Colognola in Bergamo on January 16, Teatro Circus in Pescara on January 30, Teatro Condominio in Gallarate on February 4 and Ecoteatro in Milan on February 5.

The spring dates

Next come Teatro Verdi in Genoa on February 27, Teatro Concordia in Venaria Reale on February 28, Teatro Sperimentale in Ancona on March 6, Teatro Acacia in Naples on April 7 and Teatro Kismet in Bari on April 17.

The end of the tour

On April 20 it's the turn of Nuovo Teatro Orione in Rome. The next day the show is in Florence, at Teatro Cartiere Carrara, and on April 22 in Bologna. Three nights in a row in three cities: if you see the show in Rome, you see it fully run in, at the end of the tour.

A curious fact about Michele Mezzanotte, Tutto ok at Nuovo Teatro Orione, April 20, 2027

The most concrete curious fact concerns the organizer. The same company that brings Tutto ok to Nuovo Teatro Orione, Nuovo Teatro Verdi, also organizes Omaggio a Morricone, Musiche da Oscar at Auditorium Conciliazione on the same evening, Tuesday, April 20, 2027. Two very different shows, a comic psychology monologue in Appio Latino and a soundtrack concert a short walk from St. Peter's, at the same time, with the same organizing team.

The second curious fact is about the profession. Mezzanotte doesn't come from stand-up comedy or theater: he is a psychologist and psychotherapist. His move to the stage, with Chiedi allo psy first and Tutto ok now, follows the reverse path of comedians: not from the stage to the consulting room, but from the consulting room to the stage, with a load of stories heard on the job.

The third concerns the hall. In the 1980s Nuovo Teatro Orione hosted rehearsals of big productions by Gigi Proietti and Ugo Tognazzi. The monologue, the barest form of theater, returns to a hall that has seen two masters of the spoken word on stage at work.

Nuovo Teatro Orione: the history of the venue

Teatro Orione was born in the early 1950s in the Appio Latino neighborhood and today, under the name Nuovo Teatro Orione, has 980 seats and a large stage. In 70 years it has gone through almost every form of Italian entertainment, from opera to cinema, from television to dance, up to today's monologues.

The 1950s and 1960s

In its early years the hall was a cultural landmark for the city, with a busy program of opera and operetta and big dance evenings with ballerina Ivana Gattei. In the 1960s came guest shows like I piccoli di Podrecca, the famous marionette company, while its use as a cinema grew. Next to the theater the Arena opened for summer screenings.

From film set to TV studios

In the 1970s Orione became a film studio and hosted the shooting of several films, including La pretora with Oreste Lionello and Edwige Fenech. In the 1980s the stage was used for rehearsals of big productions by Gigi Proietti and Ugo Tognazzi. In the 1990s, having left cinema behind, the hall hosted television productions, largely for the Mediaset networks.

Nuovo Teatro Orione

In the 2000s Orione became a reference point for dance events. With the new management the hall presents itself as Nuovo Teatro Orione, with a large foyer designed for aperitivos with live music and exhibitions, a theater course and a stated policy: to host every form of performance and reward the new.

Something nobody tells you about Michele Mezzanotte, Tutto ok at Nuovo Teatro Orione, April 20, 2027

What you don't read in the presentations is that Tutto ok is not therapy and doesn't replace it. It's a show, with the timing and language of theater, written by a professional who knows the subject well. If you are going through a hard time you may find relief and a few useful words in it, but the advice of a night at the theater remains food for thought: for a real path, the reference is still a specialist.

The second thing concerns the tone. The tour press release and the theaters' pages use strong words, madness, rock bottom, unforgivable, and they may suggest a gloomy evening. The format, however, is that of the comic monologue: you laugh, and you laugh a lot at yourself. If you're afraid of leaving weighed down, you can relax.

The third is practical. Nuovo Teatro Orione has 980 seats, and for a spoken show the gallery, at €29.90, is a sensible choice: the voice carries well, and the price difference with the orchestra is eight euros. If you want to see the performer's expressions, choose the central rows of the orchestra.

My tip for Michele Mezzanotte, Tutto ok at Nuovo Teatro Orione, April 20, 2027

My first tip is to go with company, and to choose that company carefully. Tutto ok talks about anxiety, relationships and everyday fatigue: it's a show you'll want to discuss on the way out, and it works best with someone you'll want to talk about it with afterward, a friend, a partner, a colleague who shares the same tiredness.

The second concerns getting there. On Tuesday evening the traffic toward Appia Nuova at dinner time is heavy, and parking in the streets around Via Tortona takes time. In our view Metro A to Re di Roma is the simplest choice: you get there in a few minutes from Termini or San Giovanni, and walk 300 meters.

The third is to buy early, especially the orchestra. With a single Rome date and only two price levels, the central rows are the first to sell out.

The fourth, if you followed the first show, is not to expect a sequel. Tutto ok is a new work, with a different theme: Chiedi allo psy answered questions, Tutto ok tells of crises and ways out.

How to get to Nuovo Teatro Orione

Nuovo Teatro Orione, at Via Tortona 7, is reached by Metro A: the Re di Roma and Ponte Lungo stops are both about 300 meters away, a few minutes on foot. Via Tortona is about 150 meters from Via Appia Nuova.

By metro

From Termini, Line A toward Anagnina reaches Re di Roma in a few minutes, passing through San Giovanni. From Piazza dei Re di Roma you walk toward Via Appia Nuova and turn into Via Tortona. From the next stop, Ponte Lungo, the walk is about the same length.

By train

Roma Tuscolana station, served by regional trains and by the line to Fiumicino airport, is about 700 meters as the crow flies from the theater. In the evening trains are less frequent, so check your return beforehand.

By bus

Via Appia Nuova is served by several surface lines. In the evening frequencies drop: plan your route with the Rome public transport planner before leaving, especially for the trip back.

By car

Appio Latino is outside the ZTL. On weekdays finding parking in the streets around Appia Nuova, narrow and densely populated, takes time: if you come by car, allow at least an extra quarter of an hour.

Another well-known fact, yet one rarely mentioned

It's well known that Nuovo Teatro Orione is a neighborhood hall. Less often remembered is how big it is. With 980 seats it has the capacity of a large city theater. For a monologue, this means the performer has to hold a real hall, not a club: the silence of a thousand people listening is a test that separates a popularizer from a man of the theater.

The second little-mentioned fact concerns the hall's history. In the 1970s Orione was a film studio: films were shot on its stage, including La pretora with Oreste Lionello and Edwige Fenech. In the 1990s it hosted television productions. It is a hall used to lights, cameras and audiences, and you can still feel this in its structure, with a large stage and a deep orchestra.

The third concerns the neighborhood. Orione was born precisely to give the new neighborhoods along Appia Nuova and Tuscolana a hall of their own, without having to go into the center. 70 years later, the purpose is the same: bringing shows to where people live.

Tickets for Tutto ok at Teatro Orione: prices and information

Tickets for Michele Mezzanotte's Tutto ok at Nuovo Teatro Orione cost €38 in the orchestra and €29.90 in the gallery, presale fee included and service fees excluded, on the presale network authorized by the organizers.

Buying safely

My advice is to buy only on the official channels listed by the organizer and the theater. Tickets resold by third parties on unauthorized platforms may not be valid, and in case of cancellation refunds follow only the organizer's procedures.

Fees and refunds

Service fees are not refundable, and in case of cancellation the organizer may decide not to refund the presale fee. These are standard conditions, worth knowing before you pay.

Orchestra or gallery

For a spoken show the difference in sound between orchestra and gallery is smaller than for a concert. In our view the gallery is a good choice if you want to spend less, and the central orchestra if you want to feel part of the conversation with the stage.

The right photo to take at Michele Mezzanotte, Tutto ok at Nuovo Teatro Orione, April 20, 2027

The right photo is taken outside, on Via Tortona, with the facade of Nuovo Teatro Orione and its historic sign lit up. It's the image of a neighborhood theater that has been lighting up the Appio Latino evening since the 1950s, and that went through opera, cinema, television and dance before arriving at today's monologues.

The second photo is taken in the foyer, before the start: the large space the theater uses for aperitivos and exhibitions, with the audience waiting to go in. During the show avoid photos and filming: in a monologue that relies on listening, a lit screen distracts the people sitting behind you and the person on stage.

The third, if you like, is the one after: Piazza dei Re di Roma in the evening, with Appia Nuova still busy. An ordinary image of Rome, far from the postcards, that tells well where you've been.

Appio Latino, Teatro Orione's neighborhood

Via Tortona is in Appio Latino, the neighborhood between Via Appia Nuova and Via Latina, south of the Aurelian Walls. It is a dense residential neighborhood, with lively street life.

Between Appia Nuova and Tuscolana

The theater is about 150 meters from Via Appia Nuova, the area's commercial spine, and a few hundred meters from Piazza dei Re di Roma. Farther east runs Via Tuscolana, with Roma Tuscolana station.

Green space nearby

South of the neighborhood opens Caffarella Park, part of the Appia Antica Park system. In April, with the days already long, a late-afternoon walk in the park is a good way to arrive at the show. It's best to leave before dark.

San Giovanni a few stops away

Metro A connects Orione to San Giovanni in a few minutes. If you arrive in the afternoon you can combine the show with a visit to the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano and the Holy Stairs, checking the day's opening hours.

Some important events that happened here in history

The history of Teatro Orione begins in the early 1950s, when the hall opened in the Appio Latino neighborhood with a program of opera, operetta and big dance evenings with ballerina Ivana Gattei. These were the years when the new neighborhoods along Appia Nuova and Tuscolana got halls of their own.

In the 1960s came I piccoli di Podrecca, while the hall worked more and more as a cinema and the Arena for summer screenings opened next door. In the 1970s Orione became a film studio, where films like La pretora were shot. In the 1980s, with art-house cinema over, the stage hosted rehearsals of big productions by Gigi Proietti and Ugo Tognazzi.

With the 1990s the cinema era closed: the hall became home to television productions, mainly for Mediaset. In the 2000s, without a stable artistic direction, Orione hosted mostly dance events, for amateur and professional companies.

The most recent phase is that of Nuovo Teatro Orione, with a new management focused on a relaunch: new drama, concerts, a theater course, comedy and family shows. The evening of April 20 fits this line: an author new to the theater, a hybrid format, an audience coming from different worlds.

Who has passed through Michele Mezzanotte, Tutto ok at Nuovo Teatro Orione, April 20, 2027

Across the Orione stage passed, in the 1950s, ballerina Ivana Gattei and opera and operetta singers, in the 1960s the marionettes of I Piccoli di Podrecca, and in the 1980s Gigi Proietti and Ugo Tognazzi for the rehearsals of their shows. In the 1970s, on the set built in the hall, Oreste Lionello and Edwige Fenech passed through for the shooting of La pretora.

In the 2026 and 2027 season the Nuovo Teatro Orione program lines up very different audiences: the family magic show Back to School in October, Arteteca with Operazione Cicogna in November, and comedians and musicians in spring.

On April 20 Michele Mezzanotte comes through, a psychologist and psychotherapist who chose the theater to talk about everyday crises and rebirths. With him comes the audience of his tour, which in five months has crossed Perugia, Mestre, Verona, Bergamo, Pescara, Gallarate, Milan, Genoa, Venaria Reale, Ancona, Naples and Bari before reaching Rome. In our view it's a stop consistent with the hall's history: a theater that has always welcomed new forms of entertainment, from cinema to television, today welcomes popular science turned into a stage show.

How to plan the evening of April 20

Tuesday, April 20, 2027 is a spring weeknight: plan the evening around the time you leave work and Metro A travel times.

Before the show

If you leave an office in the center you can take Metro A toward Anagnina, get off at Re di Roma and have dinner in the area around 19:30. If you have the afternoon free you can stop first in San Giovanni or take a walk in Caffarella, leaving the park before sunset.

After the show

At the exit Metro A is a few minutes' walk away. If you need to get back outside Rome, check the time of the last train from Roma Tuscolana or Termini beforehand. By car, it's best to wait a few minutes before driving out of the streets around Via Tortona.

A week of theater

The same week, Rome is full of events: on the evening of April 20, Auditorium Conciliazione also stages Omaggio a Morricone, with the same organizer. If you are in the city for several days you can put together a small calendar of evenings.

Where to eat near Teatro Orione

Appio Latino has a wide choice of pizzerias, neighborhood trattorias, bakeries and gelato shops, concentrated along Via Appia Nuova and around Piazza dei Re di Roma and Piazza Tuscolo.

Before the show

With the show at 21:00 the most sensible solution is an early dinner, around 19:30, at a pizzeria or trattoria in the area: quick service and the theater a few steps away. If you come with company, book ahead.

After the show

Late in the evening, on a weekday, most kitchens in the area close. A gelato along Appia Nuova, if the gelato shops are still open, is the simplest way to end the evening and talk about the show.

Accessibility and practical information

Nuovo Teatro Orione does not publish detailed information on the hall's accessibility: if you have particular needs, contact the theater before the show, using the contacts on the official website.

Age

The organizer gives no age limits. The themes, anxiety, relationships, fatigue, are adult ones, but handled in accessible language: a kid aged 16 and up can follow the show without difficulty, and perhaps find something useful in it.

Punctuality

With 980 seats and an audience that arrives all at once, getting in can take time. Arriving 20 minutes early lets you find your seat calmly and settle in before the lights go down.

Rome in April

April is one of the most beautiful and crowded months in Rome. The day after the show, April 21, is the Natale di Roma, the city's birthday.

My final tip on Michele Mezzanotte at Nuovo Teatro Orione

My advice is to go and see Tutto ok expecting neither a lecture nor a cabaret act: it's something in between, and that is exactly where its interest lies. A psychology professional who steps onto a stage of a thousand seats to say, with a smile, that things aren't always fine and that's fine. In our view it's best to buy early, choose the orchestra if you want to be close or the gallery if you want to spend less, take the metro to Re di Roma and keep an hour after the show to talk about it with whoever came with you. The value of an evening like this is often measured by what happens on the way out.
