Teatro Lirico Giorgio Gaber is one of Milan’s historic theatres, originally inaugurated in 1779 as the Teatro alla Canobbiana and designed by Giuseppe Piermarini, the architect behind La Scala. Over the centuries it became a vibrant stage for opera, ballet and drama, hosting major premieres including Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore. After closing in 1998, the theatre underwent a long and meticulous restoration that culminated in its reopening in 2021 under its new dedication to Giorgio GaberWikipedia. Located on Via Larga, the renovated venue blends restored nineteenth‑century elegance with contemporary technical upgrades, offering a versatile space for concerts, musicals, theatre and cultural events. Today, Teatro Lirico stands as a symbol of Milan’s artistic resilience, celebrating both its historic legacy and its renewed role in the city’s cultural life.
