The theatre originally had an orchestra pit separated from the proscenium by a tall podium. The theatre was expected to seat nearly 6000 people. The present layout derives from restoration efforts in the past two centuries. A nearby museum (antiquarium) displays archeologic finds from Gubbio. In the summer, the theatereis used for some outdoor performances.
