Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist at Brancaccio: date, time and prices

Modalità Teatro: la sfida with Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist is scheduled at Teatro Brancaccio in Rome on Sunday, February 7, 2027 at 15:00, on a single date, with tickets from €39.10 to €42.80 plus fees.

A Sunday afternoon

The time is the right one for a young audience: 15:00 on a Sunday, with the trip home before dinner. It is the main difference from the evenings of the same week at the Brancaccio, all at 21:00: here the hall is designed for families.

Prices

On the authorized presale network numbered Poltronissima costs €42.80, numbered Poltrona €39.10 and first balcony A €39.10. The price includes the presale right set by the organizer but not service fees. Other sections, such as the second balcony and the limited-view boxes of the first balcony, showed as unavailable.

Where to buy

Tickets are bought on the presale network authorized by the organizer or at the Brancaccio box office, at Via Merulana 244, open to the public Tuesday to Saturday from 16:00 to 19:00. On Sundays the box office opens at show time. It is always best to buy from official channels: for a show followed by such a young audience, the risk of unauthorized resales is real.

Minors

The sales conditions state that all minors up to age 14 must attend the show accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket. The Brancaccio's regulations also provide that minors under 14 enter only with an adult. So the parent needs a ticket too.

Modalità Teatro: la sfida, what you will see

Modalità Teatro: la sfida is the second chapter of the live show by Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist. After the success of the first, it returns to the theater with a renewed format that joins the language of the web with the energy of live performance, with live gaming sessions, challenges and improvisation.

An upgrade, not a sequel

The official presentation insists on one point: not a simple sequel but a true upgrade, to use the word of video games. The boundary between spectators and protagonists dissolves, and the show becomes a shared experience.

Live gameplay

On stage the three creators step out of the screens to take on a new mission live. The show alternates live gameplay sessions, unpredictable challenges and moments of improvisation. It is the language of their channels, where they play mainly on Roblox, carried onto a stage.

The audience plays

The show, the presentation says, is built in real time thanks to the energy of the house, which becomes an active part of the game. The cheering, reactions and involvement of the audience push the protagonists beyond every limit. In the hall you take part, you don't just watch.

For the new generations

The presentation speaks of a dynamic, adrenaline-filled narrative, a journey through laughs, plot twists and continuous interactions, designed to speak the language of the new generations and of those who live connected every day. The closing line is a direct invitation to the kids: don't just watch, get into the game, accept the challenge and switch on theater mode.

A theater that becomes an arena

More than a show, according to the presentation, a collective experience that turns the theater into a living, participatory arena. For many children and teenagers it will be the first time in a large theater. Seeing it turned into a place of play can be a good way to begin.

Who Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist are

Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist are three Italian creators followed mainly by children and teenagers. Together they count millions of subscribers on YouTube and hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, with gaming and storytelling content designed, they say, for the whole family.

Roby

The character of Roby is the most famous polar bear on Roblox, as the trio's official website puts it. Since 2020 Roby has brought to YouTube stories and roleplay designed for the whole family, with a detective's flair. The channel has over 2 million subscribers. The show's producer cites about 25 million views a month and nine successful comic books. Off screen Roby has published books, comics and songs.

Jenny

Jenny's trademark is her dog-ear headphones. Her YouTube channel is close to 900,000 subscribers, and on TikTok she is followed by about 280,000 people. She plays on Roblox and creates stories suitable for all ages, from the youngest to the parents watching from the couch, as the official website says. She too has published books, comics and songs.

Lorenzist

Lorenzist is the comedian of the trio, adored by his community, which is called the Pinguini (Penguins). His channel has over 2 million subscribers, with about 400,000 followers on TikTok. The producer presents him as a reference point for editing and gaming. He too has books, comics, songs and the theater tour to his name.

A shared channel

Besides their personal channels, the three have opened a shared YouTube channel, devoted to vlogs. The official website invites visitors to follow it, next to the personal channels and the trio's shop.

The production

The show is produced by Opera Live Hub, which also toured the first chapter, Modalità Teatro. The 2026/2027 tour of La sfida counts 13 dates in Italy between October 2026 and May 2027. The February 7 date at the Brancaccio is the Rome stop.

The Modalità Teatro: la sfida tour 2026/2027

The Modalità Teatro: la sfida tour, produced by Opera Live Hub, counts 13 dates between October 2026 and May 2027. The Rome stop at Teatro Brancaccio is February 7, 2027.

The calendar

The producer lists the dates of October 17 and 18, December 13, January 9, 10 and 24, 2027, February 7, 13, 20 and 21, March 7 and May 8 and 9. Among the stops already announced by theaters are Teatro Celebrazioni in Bologna, Sunday, October 18 at 15:00, and Teatro Golden in Palermo, Sunday, December 13 at 15:30.

Always in the afternoon

The announced dates share the afternoon time, almost always on a Sunday. It is the choice of those who know the audience is made of children and teenagers with their families. In Rome the show is at 15:00, a time that lets you have lunch without hurry and be home before dinner.

A single date in Rome

In the tour calendar Rome has only one date. Those who live in Lazio and the neighboring regions therefore have at the Brancaccio the only chance of the season to see the show without a long trip, so it is best to move early with tickets.

Gaming in the theater: why a creator takes the stage

Bringing gaming to the theater, in our view, is less strange than it seems: the theater has always been the place where a community gathers to see live someone it knows from afar.

From the screen to the hall

For the children who follow Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist every day on the screen, the show is the chance to see their favorites in the flesh, to hear them speak without the filter of editing, to share reactions with hundreds of peers. It is the same emotion that earlier generations felt at their first concert or at the first show of a comedian seen on television.

The value of the collective experience

Online gaming is often a solitary experience, in front of a device. The show turns it into a collective experience, in which you laugh and cheer together. For a parent who worries about the time children spend in front of the screen, it is a way to bring that passion into a shared space, and to live it together with them.

A curiosity about Modalità Teatro: la sfida with Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist at Teatro Brancaccio, February 7, 2027

The most interesting curiosity is in the title. Modalità Teatro plays with the vocabulary of video games, where you choose the game mode: story, challenge, multiplayer. The second chapter is called La sfida (the challenge), and the presentation uses another gaming word to describe it: upgrade, meaning an update that improves the game, not a simple sequel. Those with gaming children will get the reference at once. Those who have never picked up a joypad will have a small vocabulary to learn.

The second curiosity concerns the character of Roby: a polar bear. In the world of Roblox, where every player chooses an avatar, Roby built recognizability on a white, round animal, far from superheroes and warriors. It is a signal of the tone of the trio's content, which the official website calls 100 percent suitable for families.

The third curiosity concerns Lorenzist and his community, called the Pinguini. Polar bears and penguins, ice animals from opposite ends of the earth, end up on the same stage: a small play of images the most attentive fans will notice.

Teatro Brancaccio, the hall on Via Merulana

Teatro Brancaccio, at Via Merulana 244, is one of the largest halls in Rome. In its 1937 configuration it has two foyers, a wide orchestra section and two balcony levels, for about 2,000 seats at the time.

The hall

The orchestra is divided into Poltronissima and Poltrona sections. Above are the first balcony, divided into sections, and the second balcony. The balconies are reached on foot, with no elevator: with small children or strollers it is best to choose the orchestra.

A theater used to young people

The Brancaccio has a long tradition of theater for young audiences, with matinees for schools and seasons devoted to the youngest, and a training school. In the main hall, in recent years, web creators and their shows have also arrived, like the K-pop show by Seoul Mafia, produced by the same Opera Live Hub.

Via Merulana complex

The main hall is part of a complex that includes the Brancaccino, a theater of about 100 seats also devoted to children's theater, a training area and a terrace on Via Merulana. The complete profile of the venue is on the page devoted to Teatro Brancaccio.

One thing nobody tells you about Modalità Teatro: la sfida with Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist at Teatro Brancaccio, February 7, 2027

What isn't said to parents is that a ticket is needed for them too. The sales conditions require that minors up to age 14 be accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket. For a family with two children that means three tickets, and with prices between €39 and €43 plus fees the expense should be counted beforehand. In our view it is best to buy all the seats in one go, to have them together.

The second thing concerns volume. A show built on cheering and on the reactions of the house, with hundreds of children screaming for their idols, is loud. For the youngest and for those sensitive to loud sounds, it can help to bring a pair of protective earmuffs, the kind used at children's concerts.

The third thing is practical: on Sundays the Brancaccio box office opens only at show time, and on Mondays it is closed. Those who want to buy tickets in person must go Tuesday to Saturday, from 16:00 to 19:00. On the day of the show, it is best to arrive with the tickets already in hand.

How to get to Teatro Brancaccio

Teatro Brancaccio is at Via Merulana 244, in the Esquilino district, less than a kilometer from Termini station and a few steps from the Vittorio Emanuele stop of metro line A.

Metro

The nearest stop is Vittorio Emanuele, on Line A. You come out on Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and reach Via Merulana in a few minutes. Alternatively there is the Cavour stop on Line B, with a longer walk. For families arriving by train, from Termini you can also walk, passing by Santa Maria Maggiore.

Bus

The theater lists three stops. On Via Merulana, at the Merulana/Brancaccio and Merulana/Mecenate stops, lines 16, 75, 714, 717 and C3 pass. At the Labicana/Merulana stop lines 3, 53, 75, 85, 87, 186, 571, 810 and C3 pass. On Sundays frequencies are reduced, so it is best to check them on the Atac route planner.

Taxi

The taxi stands the theater lists are at Largo Brancaccio, at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II no. 113, at Via Principe Amedeo 138, at Via Giolitti 6 and on Via Venosta.

Car

The theater lists no affiliated parking. On Sunday afternoons parking in the Esquilino is a bit easier than on weekdays but remains complicated. Those arriving from outside Rome do better to leave the car near a Metro station.

The advice I give you for visiting Modalità Teatro: la sfida with Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist at Teatro Brancaccio, February 7, 2027

The advice is to choose the orchestra, in Poltronissima or Poltrona. A show in which the audience takes part and cheers is better lived near the stage, and for a child seeing up close the creators they follow on the screen is the most exciting part of the day. The first balcony, at the same price as Poltrona, offers an overall view but takes you away from the action, and is reached only by stairs.

The second piece of advice is for parents: watch a few Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist videos beforehand with your children. Not to become Roblox experts, but to understand the characters, the running jokes, the vocabulary. A show built on the reactions of the house is more fun for the adult too if they know what it is about.

The third piece of advice is to arrive early. The Brancaccio's regulations ask you to show up well in advance and do not allow entry once the show has started. With a hall full of families, entrance checks and the coat check take time: half an hour before 15:00 is the minimum margin.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

It is well known that today's children spend a lot of time on YouTube and video games, and that creators like Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist have a following that many television personalities don't reach. Much less often cited is that these creators have also built a production outside the screen: books, comics, songs and theater tours. Roby, according to the show's producer, has nine successful comic books to his name.

A second little-cited fact concerns the quality of the content. The trio's official website insists on the adjective family friendly and on content that is safe for the whole family: stories, roleplay and games designed to suit all ages. For a parent who wonders what their children watch, the show is also a chance to find out live, in a protected setting.

Finally, a fact about the theater: the Brancaccio hosted for 15 years the Fondazione dell'Opera di Roma, with opera and ballet. The same stage on which opera singers and dancers performed turns for one afternoon into a gaming arena. It is not a contradiction. It is the vocation of a theater born for variety, that is, for the popular audience of its time.

Brancaccio house rules: what to know

The Teatro Brancaccio regulations apply to all shows, including those for young people: arrival well in advance, no entry once the show has started, no photos or filming, no food in the hall.

Bags, umbrellas and coat check

The theater has a coat check and a bar. Umbrellas are not allowed in the hall and must be left at the coat check. Plastic bottles over half a liter, glass containers, motorcycle helmets, professional cameras, tripods and selfie sticks are not allowed.

Snacks and drinks

Food is not allowed in the hall. With children it is best to have a snack before going in or at the theater bar, and to bring a small water bottle of no more than half a liter.

Phones

Photos and filming are forbidden during this show too. For an audience used to filming everything, it is a rule to explain to the kids before going in.

The right photo to take at Modalità Teatro: la sfida with Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist at Teatro Brancaccio, February 7, 2027

No photos during the show: the Brancaccio regulations forbid photographing and filming, even with a phone. The right photo is taken before and after, and for a child it is the photo that counts most.

The first is in front of the theater facade on Via Merulana, with the boy or girl in the foreground and the Brancaccio entrance behind. At 14:30 on a February afternoon the light is still good. The advice is to stand on the opposite sidewalk to fit the whole theater in the frame.

The second photo is taken inside, in the foyer or in the hall before the lights go down, if staff allow: the child seated in their seat, with the stage ready behind. It is the memory of the first time in a large theater, and maybe in a few years it will be the memory of how a passion began.

The third is taken afterward, outdoors: Santa Maria Maggiore, a few minutes on foot along Via Merulana, offers a wide square for a family photo before heading home.

Around the Brancaccio: a Sunday in the Esquilino

Teatro Brancaccio is on Via Merulana, between the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, in the Esquilino district.

Two basilicas

Via Merulana runs between Santa Maria Maggiore and the Basilica of St. John Lateran. On Sunday morning, before the show, a walk between the two is a simple way to show the kids a piece of Rome.

The Auditorium of Maecenas

A few steps away is the Auditorium of Maecenas, the Roman-era hall that bears the name of the patron of Horace and Virgil: a 2,000-year-old theater next to one of today.

Piazza Vittorio

To the north, beyond the Metro stop, is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, with the Porta Alchemica, a mysterious monument that intrigues kids.

Some important events that took place here in history

The history of Teatro Brancaccio begins in January 1916, when the hall was inaugurated under the name Teatro Morgana, right next to the gardens of the Field-Brancaccio palace, the family that takes its name from Isabella Field, married to Prince Brancaccio.

In 1937 the hall was inaugurated in its present configuration, with two foyers, a wide orchestra section and two balconies for about 2,000 seats, and took the name Teatro Brancaccio. In 1985 it became the home of the Fondazione dell'Opera di Roma, which stayed there until 2000: for 15 years Via Merulana hosted the capital's opera and ballet.

After the Opera, the Comune di Roma took over and entrusted the direction to Gigi Proietti until 2007. Then came the management of Maurizio Costanzo until 2010 and that of Stage Entertainment Italia until 2012. Since September 2012 the artistic director has been Alessandro Longobardi, who turned the theater into a cultural hub with the Brancaccino, the training area, the terrace on Via Merulana and the acting and musical academies. Theater for young audiences has become one of the soul strands of the complex, with dedicated seasons and matinees for schools. The Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist afternoon fits into this history.

Who has played Modalità Teatro: la sfida with Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist at Teatro Brancaccio, February 7, 2027

Some of the biggest names in entertainment have passed through the Brancaccio stage. The theater remembers several: Totò, Anna Magnani, Aldo Fabrizi and Gigi Proietti among the actors, and Fabrizio De André, Louis Armstrong and Jimi Hendrix among the musicians.

These are names that the kids in the house on February 7 may not know, but that their grandparents remember well. Each was, in their own era, a popular idol: Totò for those who went to the movies in the 1950s, Hendrix for those who listened to rock in the late 1960s, Proietti for generations of television and theater viewers. Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist are the popular idols of a generation growing up with YouTube and Roblox.

In the same season other artists loved by the youngest pass through the Brancaccio, such as Benji and Fede with Sempre in due and Mr Rain in concert. On February 7, 2027, for one afternoon, the stage of Totò and Proietti becomes a gaming arena.

Accessibility at Teatro Brancaccio

Teatro Brancaccio declares that it has no architectural barriers for access to the orchestra level: there is a ramp, an area reserved for wheelchairs and an accessible restroom on the ground floor, reachable from the foyer.

Wheelchairs and strollers

The theater makes available, while they last, orchestra seats for people in wheelchairs and with walking difficulties. The balconies cannot be reached in a wheelchair, because there are no elevators, and the same applies to those arriving with a stroller. Seats are booked by writing to the box office with the dedicated form and the required documentation.

Visual and hearing disabilities

For spectators with visual and hearing disabilities the theater reserves, on request, orchestra seats while they last. For children with hypersensitivity to sounds, a show with cheering and screaming from the house should be considered carefully.

Modalità Teatro with kids: practical advice

Modalità Teatro: la sfida is designed for a young, dynamic and connected audience, as the producer defines it, and for the families who follow it.

The right age

The producer and the theater indicate no minimum age. The content of Roby, Jenny and Lorenzist is followed mainly by elementary and middle school children. In our view the show suits ages six or seven and up, when the child already knows the characters.

Getting ready

Before leaving it is best to explain the theater rules to the children: no food in the hall, no videos, stay in your seat. And, unlike what usually happens at the theater, that here you can cheer.

After the show

The running time is not published, but with the 15:00 start there is time for a snack or an early dinner in the neighborhood before heading home. The next day is Monday, a school day.

Where to eat before or after the show

Around the Brancaccio there are three possibilities: neighborhood bars and places on Via Merulana, suited to a quick lunch. The multiethnic Esquilino around Piazza Vittorio, with cuisines from many countries and low prices. The Monti district, a quarter of an hour on foot, with trattorias and pizzerias.

Sunday lunch

With the 15:00 start, lunch should be organized early, around 12:30. On Sundays family places fill up, so it is best to book.

The snack

After the show, an ice cream or a snack in a neighborhood bar is the right reward for the day, and the moment to hear the kids tell what amused them most.
