The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit stage shows in Italy hard in 2020. That year, theatres and similar cultural venues had to close to the public for several months due to emergency restrictions implemented during the health crisis. In 2020, the theatre sector recorded roughly 4.8 million admissions overall, dropping from nearly 15 million in 2019. Meanwhile, ticketed admissions to opera shows declined from around 2.5 million in 2019 to approximately 466 thousand in 2020.

The source specifies that admissions include the combined results of the admissions with ticket and admissions with season tickets. Attendance refers to the "attendance of spectators at shows for which the admission ticket is not issued and concerns both the events where the organizer earns income (such as musical performances at piano bars) and those offered free of charge".
Figures have been rounded. Data for 2019 were previously published by the source.
