Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio, December 8, 2026

Un magico Natale con Carolina is on stage at Teatro Brancaccio on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, with two shows: at 15:00 and at 18:00. The theater is at Via Merulana 244 (00185 Rome), in the Esquilino neighborhood, and you reach it on Metro A, Vittorio Emanuele stop, on Metro B, Cavour stop, or on buses 16, 75, 714, 717 and C3, which stop on Via Merulana. The price list published by the theater, at full price, ranges from 28 euros (II Balconata) to 47 euros (Poltronissima A), with 39 euros for Poltronissima B, 35 for Poltrona A and B and 32 for I Balconata. Tickets are bought at the box office on Via Merulana, open Tuesday to Saturday from 16:00 to 19:00, and on the authorized presale circuit reachable from the show's page on the official Teatro Brancaccio website.

Language: performed in Italian. No English version or English surtitles are announced.

The show is by Carolina Benvenga and Morena D'Onofrio, who also directs it, and it's produced by Stefano Francioni Produzioni and Ventidieci in collaboration with Sony Music. The theater presents it as a return "by popular demand": a new Christmas adventure, made of songs and dances, built around Teacher Carolina and a class of children stuck at school by the snow. It's a family show, meant for anyone with a child at home who knows Carolina's songs by heart, and for parents who want to finally see them live.

Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio: dates, times and prices

Un magico Natale con Carolina is scheduled at Teatro Brancaccio for a single day, Tuesday, December 8, 2026, with two shows at 15:00 and 18:00, according to the timetable published by the theater on the show's page, included in the 2026-2027 season under the Family label.

Two shows in the same afternoon

The double show is the classic formula for children's shows on holidays. The 15:00 one is best for the youngest, who arrive at the theater after lunch and go home before dinner. The 18:00 one suits those coming from outside Rome or who want to spend the morning of the Immaculate Conception walking around the city. Either way the evening stays free, and the next day is Wednesday: if your kids go to school, you can manage without effort.

Prices by section

For this show Teatro Brancaccio publishes eight full-price bands: Poltronissima A 47 euros, Poltronissima B 39 euros, Poltrona A and Poltrona B 35 euros, I Balconata A and I Balconata B 32 euros, II Balconata A and II Balconata B 28 euros. The theater's booking system also lists other bands, such as Poltronissima Gold and Gold Vip, which have no price given in this show's price list: actual availability is shown by the sales system at the time of purchase.

The box office

The box office is at Via Merulana 244 and is open to the public Tuesday to Saturday from 16:00 to 19:00. On Sunday it opens only during show hours, if there's a performance, and on Monday it's closed. For a show on Tuesday, December 8, if you want to choose your seat in person you have the week before, from Tuesday the 1st to Saturday, December 5.

Presale and assistance

From the show's page on the official Teatro Brancaccio website you reach the authorized presale circuit. The theater also offers an online assistance service for purchases. The rules warn that tickets bought from unauthorized channels may not give access to the hall: always start from the theater website, all the more so for a holiday show that is likely to sell out.

The story of Un magico Natale con Carolina

Un magico Natale con Carolina tells of a class of children who, before the Christmas holidays, rehearse dances and songs over and over to exchange holiday greetings, until a heavy snowfall traps them at school and threatens to wreck all the celebrations.

The snow and the school

The plot published by the theater starts from a situation every child knows: waiting for the holidays, the end-of-term show, wanting to celebrate with friends. The snowfall changes everything. The children are stuck inside the building, the celebrations seem lost, and discouragement takes the place of excitement. It's a simple beginning, and that's exactly why it works with an audience aged three to 10.

Teacher Carolina

Coming to the rescue is the magical intervention of Teacher Carolina, who helps the children not lose heart. The character is the one the audience knows from television and YouTube: a reassuring adult figure who speaks to children without talking down to them and gets them involved in singing and dancing. On stage, the teacher becomes the driving force of the action.

The value of working together

The show's stated message is the value of working together in moments of deepest discouragement: the unlucky mishap becomes, thanks to shared effort, an experience to remember. For a parent it's a useful theme to pick up again at home, after the theater: nobody gets out of the snow alone, and the party succeeds because everyone prepares it together.

A musical show

The theater calls the show a musical show. Songs and dances are the heart of the performance, and the children in the hall are invited to join in. The list of songs isn't published, but Carolina's Christmas repertoire is large and well known to her audience: the children will probably arrive at the theater already knowing the words and choreography by heart.

Who made the show: direction, choreography, lighting and production

Un magico Natale con Carolina is a show by Carolina Benvenga and Morena D'Onofrio, directed by Morena D'Onofrio, with choreography by Fiorella Nolis and lighting design by Marco Palmieri. It's produced by Stefano Francioni Produzioni and Ventidieci, in collaboration with Sony Music.

Morena D'Onofrio, co-author and director

Morena D'Onofrio directed Carolina's previous stage shows: Un Natale favoloso... a teatro, from 2022, and Un'estate favolosa, from 2024. The continuity is clear: the same creative pair has been building the character's stage language for years, and this show is its development.

Choreography and lighting

Choreography is by Fiorella Nolis, lighting design by Marco Palmieri. In a show where the children in the audience dance along with the performers, the choreography has to be easy to imitate and recognizable, built for the hall and not just for the stage. The lighting, in a Christmas show with snow at the center of the story, has the job of turning a classroom into a magical place.

The production

Stefano Francioni Produzioni and Ventidieci are the companies producing the show, and Sony Music is the label Carolina has released her music with since 2019. The collaboration with the record company explains the close link between the show and the catalog of songs: the theater is the place where the repertoire released online and on record comes to life in front of the audience.

Who Carolina Benvenga is: her biography

Carolina Victoria Benvenga is an Italian actress, TV host and singer, born in Rome on January 10, 1990. Young audiences know her as host on Rai Yoyo and of the Zecchino d'Oro and as the performer of children's songs released with Sony Music.

Her beginnings in film and television

She made her debut in 2005 in an episode of Tickets, the international film directed by Ermanno Olmi, Abbas Kiarostami and Ken Loach. In her case the episode is Kiarostami's. The same year she played Rossana in Andrea Porporati's TV film La luna e il lago, broadcast on Rai 1 in April 2006. In 2007 she was Betta in the Canale 5 miniseries Io e mamma, daughter and granddaughter of the characters played by Amanda and Stefania Sandrelli, and appeared in Nebbie e delitti. In 2008 she appeared in Zodiaco and in I liceali, as Elena Cicerino.

Staraoke and film

In 2009 she co-hosted Staraoke with Andrea Dianetti on Cartoon Network, a program that moved to Boing in 2010. In May 2010 she returned to film with Herbert Simone Paragnani's Una canzone per te, as Irene, and then she was Carolina Ferrari in the second season of Anna e i cinque, with Sabrina Ferilli. In July 2011 she graduated from ACT Multimedia and staged Botho Strauss's Trilogia del rivedersi at Teatro Quirino in Rome, as Ruth, directed by Alvaro Piccardi.

La posta di YoYo and children's television

The decisive step came on July 18, 2012, when she began hosting La posta di YoYo, on air Monday to Friday on Rai Yoyo. From there came the figure Italian children recognize: she also hosted several Zecchino d'Oro specials and, on Rai Gulp, Tiggì Gulp, La TV Ribelle and Gulp Girl. She also took part in the movie specials, produced by Warner Bros., of Peppa Pig and Masha and the Bear.

Music with Sony Music

In 2019, with Sony Music and Studio Bozzetto, her first album came out, Carolina e Topo Tip, Balla con noi!, a baby dance project designed for YouTube Kids. It was followed by Summer Baby Dance in 2021, Un Natale favoloso in 2022, Christmas Dance con Carolina in 2024, an EP in 2020 and a very long series of singles, from Bumbum Chacha to Il ballo dei pinguini, from Mummia mambo to Superbimbi and Mucca Dance, released in 2026.

Recent years

In 2020, during the health emergency, she hosted Diario di casa with Armando Traverso, an information program for families also broadcast on Rai 1 and Rai 2. In the winter of 2022-2023 her first Christmas tour began, Un Natale favoloso... a teatro, followed by a second tour the following winter. She hosted the Zecchino d'Oro in 2023, 2024 and 2025. In 2024 she voiced Lucy Wilde in Despicable Me 4, and in 2026 she appeared in an episode of Don Matteo.

The books

She has published three children's books: Il sogno di Simone, illustrated by Ma pe, for Paoline in 2021, Il girotondo delle stagioni for Electa Kids in 2022, and La musica del gioco, also for Electa Kids, in 2023. It's the sign of work that goes beyond the screen and focuses on play and music as educational tools.

Carolina's Christmas songs

Carolina Benvenga's Christmas repertoire includes a whole album, Un Natale favoloso from 2022, the collection Christmas Dance con Carolina from 2024 and a series of singles released every winter, from 2019 to today.

The singles of every winter

The first Christmas song is Christmas Dance, from 2019. In 2021 came Elfi and Un Natale Favoloso, in 2022 Viva la Befana, in 2023 Babbo Dance and Elfi Combinaguai, in 2024 La notte di Natale and Natale per sempre, in 2025 Renna Dance and La canzone del Natale. These are titles many children know from videos online, with simple choreography to repeat.

How to prepare at home

The advice is to listen to some of these songs with your children in the days before. The show is built on participation: those who know the songs sing and dance from their seats, and the experience changes completely. Those who arrive without knowing the repertoire have fun anyway, but risk feeling like spectators in a hall where everyone else is a protagonist.

An unpublished setlist

The theater hasn't published the list of songs. The show is a new Christmas adventure, and besides the titles already known there may be songs written for the occasion. The surprise is part of the game.

A curious fact about Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio, December 8, 2026

The curious fact concerns Carolina Benvenga's first theater stage, and it leads to Rome. In 2011, for her end-of-course showcase at ACT Multimedia, the future children's favorite acted in Botho Strauss's Trilogia del rivedersi at Teatro Quirino, as Ruth, directed by Alvaro Piccardi. A text from contemporary German theater, very far from baby dance and elves: a debut as a stage actress, in one of the historic theaters in the center. 15 years later, Carolina returns to a Roman stage with a completely different audience, made of children dancing in the stalls.

The second curious fact is in her filmography. The first film she took part in, in 2005, is Tickets, a work in three episodes shot by three great authors of world cinema: Ermanno Olmi, Abbas Kiarostami and Ken Loach. Carolina is in the second episode, the one by the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. Few of the parents who follow her on Rai Yoyo know that her career began alongside a master of auteur cinema.

The third concerns her voice. In 2024 Carolina voiced Lucy Wilde in Despicable Me 4, one of the most watched animated films among children that season. If you take your kids to Teatro Brancaccio, after the show you can point out that Teacher Carolina is also the voice of a character from the Minions world.

Teatro Brancaccio, the venue of the show

Teatro Brancaccio, at Via Merulana 244, is one of the largest halls in Rome: since 1937 it has had two foyers, large stalls and two balcony levels, for about 2,000 seats at the time. Today it's home to the production center Viola Produzioni and hosts musicals, drama, dance, concerts and family shows.

Stalls and balconies

The stalls are divided into the Poltronissima and Poltrona sections, with bands A and B. Above are the first and second balconies, also divided into A and B. The balconies aren't served by elevators: you reach them on foot, a detail to consider with a stroller or a small child in your arms.

A hall for families

Teatro Brancaccio has a long relationship with young audiences: the theater organizes matinees for schools and a section dedicated to Teatro Ragazzi, as well as the big family titles of the holidays. In December the same hall also hosts Brancaccio LAB's Nutcracker, from December 4 to 6, just before Carolina's show.

The Brancaccino and the complex

The main hall is part of a larger complex, which includes the Brancaccino, a theater of about 100 seats devoted to contemporary playwriting and children's theater, a training area and a terrace on Via Merulana. General information about the venue is gathered on our page on Teatro Brancaccio.

Something nobody tells you about Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio, December 8, 2026

What almost nobody says is that Teatro Brancaccio's rules ask spectators to arrive at least an hour before the start. For the 15:00 show that means being on Via Merulana at 14:00, and for the 18:00 one, at 17:00. With children it isn't an exaggeration: there are visual checks on bags and backpacks, the cloakroom where umbrellas must be left too, the bathroom trip before sitting down. On a holiday, with two shows in the same afternoon, the foyer fills up fast.

The rules are strict about lateness too: entering the hall after the show has started isn't allowed, and latecomers wait in the foyer until the first suitable moment, with no guarantee of taking their assigned seat. With a child who has been waiting for this day for weeks, missing the start is the mistake to avoid.

Second little-known thing: between the 15:00 show and the 18:00 one there are three hours. The first audience comes out while the second starts to arrive, and Via Merulana, at the theater, gets crowded. If you have the second show, it's best not to arrive right at the changeover, but to plan a snack in the area and show up at the entrance calmly. Third thing: tickets are in the holder's name and tied to a registration, and they can't be freely transferred without the theater's agreement. If you're buying for grandparents, aunts and uncles or friends, you need to know this beforehand.

My advice for visiting Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio, December 8, 2026

The advice is to choose the show based on your child's age. Under five, the 15:00 show is almost always the right choice: the child is rested, evening tiredness doesn't hit during the show, and you get home in daylight or shortly after. Over five, the 18:00 show works too, and leaves the morning and early afternoon free for a walk among the Christmas lights.

The second piece of advice concerns the seat. For a show where children dance, the stalls are the best choice: Poltronissima A at 47 euros or Poltrona at 35 put your child close to the stage and to Teacher Carolina. If you want to spend less, you can go up to the first balcony, at 32 euros: from above you see the whole stage well, but the youngest may feel far away. With a very small child, an aisle seat is better, so you can step out into the foyer without disturbing anyone.

The third concerns preparation: a few of Carolina's songs listened to in the days before, comfortable clothes for dancing, a snack at the theater bar before going in, because you can't eat in the hall. And the time in the rules, to be respected: on Via Merulana an hour early.

How to get to Teatro Brancaccio

Teatro Brancaccio is at Via Merulana 244, in the Esquilino, less than a kilometer from Termini station and a few steps from the Vittorio Emanuele stop on Metro A: it's one of the easiest Roman theaters to reach by public transportation, even with children.

By metro

The nearest stop is Vittorio Emanuele, on Metro A: you come out on Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and reach Via Merulana in a few minutes. The alternative is the Cavour stop on Metro B, with a longer walk. From Termini, where the two lines cross, you can also reach the theater on foot by way of Santa Maria Maggiore.

By bus

The theater lists three surface 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. December 8 is a holiday: for times, check ATAC's route planner before leaving.

By taxi

The taxi stands the theater points out are in Largo Brancaccio, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II at number 113, at Via Principe Amedeo 138, at Via Giolitti 6 and on Via Venosta. When a full show lets out, the Largo Brancaccio stand empties fast: with tired children it's best to book by phone a few minutes before the end.

By car

The theater doesn't list any partner parking, and parking in the Esquilino on a holiday is difficult. If you're coming from outside Rome, it's better to leave the car near a Metro A or B station and continue by metro: with a stroller, the Vittorio Emanuele stop is the most convenient.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

It's well known that Carolina Benvenga is the host of La posta di YoYo, Rai Yoyo's daily program. It's less often remembered for how long: the show began on July 18, 2012, and since then Carolina has been coming into Italian homes for more than a decade. Many of the parents who will be on Via Merulana with their children on December 8 have known her since then, and some of the children who watched her back then are teenagers today. It's a rare continuity in children's television, where faces change often.

The second rarely mentioned fact concerns the pandemic period. In 2020, while schools were closed, Carolina hosted Diario di casa with Armando Traverso, an information program designed to explain to children what was happening, also broadcast on Rai 1 and Rai 2. It's perhaps the moment when her figure moved from children's television to a broader public role.

The third fact concerns the theater. Carolina's Christmas tours have existed since the winter of 2022-2023, when Un Natale favoloso... a teatro started, directed by Morena D'Onofrio herself. Its success led to a second tour the following winter and then to a summer show in 2024. Un magico Natale con Carolina is the latest chapter of a formula already tested in front of thousands of families.

Un magico Natale con Carolina with children

Un magico Natale con Carolina is a show designed for children and families. Teatro Brancaccio's rules require that children under 14 enter only together with an adult.

Age and tickets

The theater's rules state that children under 3 get in free if they don't take up a seat, with a document proving their age. Access is still at the production's discretion depending on the type of show. The price list published for Un magico Natale con Carolina shows no reductions for children: the ticket is full price for every seat taken.

What to expect

Songs, dances, a simple story with a problem and a solution, a protagonist the child already knows. The volume is that of a musical show, and in the hall the children sing and get up to dance: if your child is sensitive to loud noise, you can bring ear protection and choose a seat not too close to the speakers.

Strollers and cloakroom

For your stroller, ask the staff at the entrance where to leave it. The balconies have no elevator: with a small child in your arms the stalls are much more comfortable. Umbrellas and coats go to the cloakroom, taking care to pick them up right at the end of the show, before the line forms.

Stage effects

Teatro Brancaccio's rules warn in general that there may be light and strobe effects on stage. For a Christmas show with snow at the center of the story, if your child is photosensitive, it's a good idea to ask the box office when booking.

The right photo to take at Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio, December 8, 2026

No photos during the show: Teatro Brancaccio's rules ban photographing and filming, even with a cell phone, and ask that phones be switched off before the start. It's a rule that also protects the children in the hall. The right photo, then, is taken before and after.

The first is in front of the theater's facade on Via Merulana, with the name of the show and the Christmas decorations. The advice is to cross the street and shoot from the opposite sidewalk, with your child in the foreground and the Brancaccio entrance behind. For the 15:00 show the light is still daylight. When the 18:00 show lets out, in December, it's already dark and the lit facade becomes the best backdrop.

The second is in the foyer, before going into the hall, with the ticket in hand or in front of the poster: a simple memento of the first time at the theater, for many children. The third is outside, after the show, along Via Merulana toward Santa Maria Maggiore, with the holiday lights: the lit basilica, seen from the end of the street, is one of the most beautiful images of Christmas in Rome. No flash, and put your phone back in your pocket as soon as the house lights go down.

Some important events that happened here in history

The history of Teatro Brancaccio begins in January 1916, when the hall opened under the name Teatro Morgana. It was built against the embankment of the gardens of the palazzo of the Field-Brancaccio, the noble family that takes its name from Elizabeth Field, married to Prince Brancaccio. The link with the nearby Palazzo Brancaccio is physical even before it's in the name.

The decisive step is 1937: the hall was inaugurated in the configuration known today, with two foyers, large stalls 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. Then the City of Rome took over and entrusted the direction to Gigi Proietti until 2007, followed by Maurizio Costanzo's management until 2010 and that of Stage Entertainment Italia until 2012. Since September 2012 the artistic director has been Alessandro Longobardi.

Recent years have been those of its transformation into a cultural hub: the Brancaccino, the training area, the terrace on Via Merulana, the academies of acting, musical theater and dance, the Teatro Ragazzi season and the matinees for schools. 2012, the year of Teatro Brancaccio's new direction, is also the year Carolina began hosting La posta di YoYo: two parallel stories that, 14 years later, meet on the same stage.

Who has passed through Un magico Natale con Carolina at Teatro Brancaccio, December 8, 2026

Some of the biggest names in Italian and international entertainment have passed across Teatro Brancaccio's stage. The theater mentions several: Totò, Anna Magnani, Aldo Fabrizi and Gigi Proietti among the actors, Fabrizio De André, Louis Armstrong and Jimi Hendrix among the musicians. For 15 years, from 1985 to 2000, it was the home of Roman opera, with the Fondazione dell'Opera.

Notable directors and performers have passed through Carolina Benvenga's career: Ermanno Olmi, Abbas Kiarostami and Ken Loach in the film Tickets, Andrea Porporati for La luna e il lago, Amanda and Stefania Sandrelli in the 2007 miniseries, Sabrina Ferilli in Anna e i cinque, Alvaro Piccardi, who directed her at Teatro Quirino, Andrea Dianetti, her co-host on Staraoke, Armando Traverso, with whom she hosted Diario di casa, and Studio Bozzetto, with which she built her first music project.

On December 8, alongside Carolina, the director Morena D'Onofrio, the choreographer Fiorella Nolis and the lighting designer Marco Palmieri also pass through Teatro Brancaccio, with the teams of Stefano Francioni Produzioni and Ventidieci. And, above all, hundreds of children at their first experience in a big theater: the part of the audience that, in a few years, will come back to Via Merulana for a musical or a concert.

Around Teatro Brancaccio: Esquilino, Monti and Via Merulana

Teatro Brancaccio is on Via Merulana, between the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, in the Esquilino neighborhood: if you arrive a little early, you have around you one of the most history-rich areas of the city.

Two basilicas and an ancient auditorium

Via Merulana runs between Santa Maria Maggiore and St. John Lateran. Along the same street are Palazzo Merulana and, a little farther on, the Auditorium of Maecenas, the Roman-era hall named after the patron of Horace and Virgil.

Piazza Vittorio and the Porta Alchemica

To the north, past the metro stop, is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II with its gardens and the Porta Alchemica, a curiosity children like for its mysterious inscriptions and the statues guarding it. It's a short walk, suitable if you arrive early.

The Monti district

To the west you head down into the Monti district, with its streets sloping down toward the Forums. If you want to discover it before or after the show, there's our page on the Monti district. In December, with children, the best walk is in the morning.

Where to eat before or after the show

Around Teatro Brancaccio there are three options: the neighborhood cafés and eateries on Via Merulana, good for a quick meal or a snack, the multiethnic Esquilino around Piazza Vittorio, with cuisines from many countries and low prices, and the Monti district, a quarter of an hour on foot, with trattorias, pizzerias and bakeries.

With the 15:00 show

Lunch needs to be early: with arrival required at 14:00, it's best to sit down at the table around noon. December 8 is a holiday, and many restaurants in the center are full: booking is essential.

With the 18:00 show

The simplest solution is a hearty snack before going in and dinner after, from 20:00. In Monti the choice is wide, but on a holiday it's best to book: when the show lets out, hundreds of families are looking for a place in the same blocks.

Accessibility at Teatro Brancaccio

Teatro Brancaccio states that it has no architectural barriers to access the stalls: there's a ramp, an area dedicated to wheelchairs and an accessible restroom on the ground floor, reachable from the foyer.

Wheelchairs and reduced mobility

For the evenings organized by the management, the theater makes available, while they last, seats in the stalls for wheelchair users and for people who have difficulty walking. The balconies can't be reached in a wheelchair, because there are no elevators. Seats are booked by writing to the box office with the specific form and the required documentation.

Visual and hearing disabilities

For spectators with visual and hearing disabilities, the theater reserves seats in the stalls on request, while they last. If you have a service dog, you can ask the box office to enter the hall with the animal. For children with particular needs, it's best to write to the box office before buying, to choose the most suitable seat together.

The Immaculate Conception in Rome, the start of Christmas

December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, marks the start of the Christmas season in Rome. If you're coming with children, you'll find ideas for completing the day on our page about Christmas in Rome.

An afternoon at the theater on a holiday

In 2026 the Immaculate Conception falls on a Tuesday. For families from outside Rome it's the chance for a long weekend in the city, with Carolina's show as the main event. In the same Teatro Brancaccio program, a few days later, there's Mario Biondi on December 14, if you want to come back to Via Merulana without children.

Weather and clothing

In December Roman days are often mild but damp, and with early darkness the temperature drops. For children, layers that come off easily in the hall and go back on at the exit. For everyone, a folding umbrella to leave at the cloakroom.

The advice is to choose the 15:00 show for the youngest and the 18:00 one for those a few years older, get a seat in the stalls, play a few songs in the days before and respect the time in the rules: on Via Merulana an hour early, coats at the cloakroom, phones off. For many it will be their first time in a big theater, and it's best if it happens without rushing.
