Piccolo Teatro (Milan)

Piccolo Teatro Grassi

The Piccolo Teatro di Milano (translation: "Little Theatre of the City of Milan") is a theatre in Milan, Italy. Founded in 1947, it is Italy's first permanent theatre,[1] and a national "teatro stabile", or permanent repertory company, and is considered a theatre of major national and European importance.[2][3] The theatre has three venues: Teatro Grassi, in Via Rovello, between Sforza Castle and the Piazza del Duomo; Teatro Studio, which was originally intended to be the theater's rehearsal hall; and Teatro Strehler, which opened in 1998 with a seating capacity of 974.[4] Its annual programme consists of approximately thirty performances. In addition, the venue hosts cultural events, from festivals and films, to concerts, conferences, and conventions,[5] as well as supporting the Paolo Grassi Drama School.[6]
