Address: Via Larga

The theatre, closed since 1999, should reopen in early 2022.

On 13rd May 1554 the will of Paolo da Cannobio was published, which establishes the “Cannobian” Schools in via delle Ore, where the Teatro Lirico is now located. They used to deliver two daily readings, one of morals and another of dialectic.

For many people the Milan of the Twenties is a carefree place where charm and glamour coexisted in certain circles; yet, the majority of people was trying to recover from the trauma of the First World War.

Soon the Teatro Lirico will rise again to new life after almost twenty years of closure to the public.

The show schedule will be given to different directors according to the types of initiatives proposed: Renato Pozzetto will deal with comedy and cabaret, while J-Ax will handle pop music events for teens. 

Classical music and opera will be managed by Roberto Favaro - the former director of Brera - while Jazz concerts by Enrico Intra and dance shows by Chris Baldock.
