After the Piccolo Teatro was inaugurated in 1947, it gained immense popularity not only among the residents of Milan but also across the globe. The theater has since then acted as a custodian of art and culture and continues to support as well as encourage local artists and their national counterparts. The theater is extends its name to three different venues- Teatro Grassi, Teatro Studio and Teatro Strehler; these can be used for a variety of performing-arts events depending on the audience capacity expected for them.
Believed to be one of the oldest theaters in the city, Teatro Litta is housed in an old Baroque style building from the 17th Century.

Teatro Litta has a fantastic line up of theatrical performances throughout the year. The theater is home to a small cafe that serves light refreshments and is an ideal place for casual meetings or business conferences as well.
The Teatro degli Arcimboldi was designed as an alternate concert hall during the renovation of the Teatro Alla Scala.

Popular pieces like Wagner's Tannhauser and Balletto Europa's La Stavaganzaa have been featured here.
