Inaugurated on December 26, 1867, it could accommodate up to 600 spectators. The theater had an elliptical layout with 38 boxes on three levels, a lavishly decorated ceiling, and a neoclassical facade on two levels. After various ups and downs and changes of ownership between public and private hands, the theater closed its doors for the first time in 1929 (operating only during events organized by patriotic city organizations), reopened in 1938 as a cinema, underwent renovations in 1964 (eliminating the mystical gulf, reducing the stage, increasing the boxes to 44). It faced the risk of being converted into 'civilian residences' until 1974 when the municipality decided to purchase it and entrusted its management to a dedicated committee. Their efforts concluded in 1982 when it closed due to evident unsuitability.
A lengthy restoration project began, culminating on April 21, 1990, when Anna Proclemer inaugurated the 'new' Concordi, now capable of seating approximately 200. Subsequent restoration and technical upgrades occurred from 2015 to 2017 with brief interruptions to the seasons. Forced to close during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the theater reopened and is now a vibrant cultural center managed on behalf of the municipal administration by the Nuovo Teatro dell'Aglio association, in collaboration with the Fondazione Toscana Spettacolo, of which the Municipality of Campiglia is a part.
