Teatro degli Arcimboldi

Teatro degli Arcimboldi

The "Teatro degli Arcimboldi" is a theatre and opera house in Milan which was built over a twenty-seven month period in anticipation of the closure and subsequent nearly three-year long renovation of Milan's La Scala opera house in December 2001. It is located 4.5 miles from the city centre in an abandoned Pirelli tire factory, an area known as Bicocca.

Designed by Vittorio Greggotti working with architects Mario Botta and Elisabetta Fabbri, the fan-shaped 2,375 seat auditorium, created on two levels, was planned to allow for the continuation of La Scala's 20021/2002 opera season and it was inaugurated with a performance of Verdi's "La traviata" on 19 January 2002.

An unfortunate accident closed the theatre for seventeen days in February 2001, but it re-opened and became the La Scala company's venue until the renovated opera house re-opened on its traditional day, 7 December, in 2004.

Performances of many different types of music are still given at the Arcimboldi.
