Arcimboldi Theatre, also known as Bicocca degli Arcimboldi Theatre, is located in Milan. Built in the period 1997-2002 on the initiative of the Municipality of Milan and Pirelli, it is a work of the famous architect Vittorio Gregotti from Novara. The theatre takes its name from a villa of the Arcimboldi family. In the '20s and '30s the theatre was already active to host the shows of the Scala Theatre season on the occasion of its last renovation. The size of the stage and capacity are very similar to those of Scala Theatre and as in all classical opera houses, it is divided into three volumes: foyer, hall and stage. The capacity is 2.46 seats. The audience has four orders of seats: auditorium, high auditorium and two galleries.
