ENTERTAINMENT IN MILAN

"What can I do tonight?" If you are in Milan it will not be difficult to answer this question. Milan has many entertainment opportunities to offer, consisting of a multi-faceted variety of bars, restaurants, theatres, sports facilities, the city stadium and many other venues throughout the city providing the ideal setting for your spare time. Enjoying your leisure is an absolutely inalienable right, and this is particularly true at the end of a tiring day! There is so much to choose from, either indoor or outdoor, if the weather is fine. In the summer the many opportunities of open-air entertainment, filling the calendar from June to October, will surprise you. Although tickets for opera premières are reputed to be difficult to find, classical concerts performed by orchestras, ensembles and soloists are held in theatres and churches as well as in the open air. And if you are a pop music fan, remember that many pop concerts are organized in clubs and stadiums with visiting national and international stars. Whereas most Milan cinemas show the new international block-busters, theatres offer an interesting selection of national and international plays but also cabaret, avant-garde performances and dance. If you plunge yourself into the bustling life of the city, you will soon discover that there is a special magic about some aspects of Milanese entertainment which are worth experiencing for the sheer atmosphere, whether you are a fan or not. Opera and football are two very fitting examples.

MILAN NIGHTLIFE

If you find yourself in Milan one evening, how can you resist the temptation of letting yourself be carried away by the nightlife of this wonderful city? The night-spots multiply before your very eyes, and you really can find them in every corner and district of the city. In spite of that, there's no doubt that areas like BRERA and the NAVIGLI remain the established destinations for going out in the evenings. The wide choice of bars and night-spots mean that these parts of the city are always very lively, and extremely crowded of course. The CORSO COMO and CORSO SEMPIONE areas are also typical meeting-places that hold an embarrassment of riches if you're looking for an attractive night-spot.
The Milan nightlife begins very early: offices have only just closed when the night-spots fill up for "long" aperitifs, a custom started in the '60s. The aperitif time is characterized by the traditional Happy Hour - the period when you can savor all kinds of cocktails at reduced prices, and above all accompanied by a hot and cold buffet with unlimited nibbles.
You should also remember that going out through the week has a number of benefits. In the first place bars are less crowded, so that finding somewhere to sit down and have a drink is less of a problem. But above all, during the week you'll find lots of bars and pubs that put on special events. Now even the discos are no longer simply places to dance in - they also stage concerts, theme evenings and shows on different days of the week.
The combination of breakfast and lunch has become a real tradition, a regular appointment for everyone who's been up late on Saturday night and obviously wakes up very late on Sunday morning. Brunch is served from around 12.00 noon to 4.00 p.m. and is where people of all tastes and backgrounds can meet up, as well as being a pleasant lively way to round off the weekend.

MUSIC IN MILAN

Milan has always been regarded very highly in terms of music offer. Although its image is undeniably connected with the La Scala Theatre, the world-known temple to opera, the city's musical scenario has much more to offer, ranging from virtually every type of musical expression including jazz, pop, sacred and vocal music just to cite a few.
There are numerous venues scattered throughout the city featuring performances with nationally and internationally famous stars which attract large audiences even from distant places in Italy and neighboring countries. A part from the more traditional venues, you'll be surprise to discover how many bars and discos stage live-music evenings which contribute so effectively to the lively atmosphere pervading Milan after dark.
But musical entertainment does not only strictly apply to Milan's rich calendars of performances: it also stretches out to the many exhibitions, seminars and other less traditional cultural happenings which offer visitors valuable insights on their favorite composers, singers and ensembles.

POP MUSIC IN MILAN

The Milanese panorama, aware of the international music trends and not far away from the great music capitals of Berlin, Paris and London, offers a rich calendar featuring international celebrities, from rock and pop to jazz, throughout the year.
The majority of them perform at FILAFORUM, www.forumnet.it. This main music venue is located in Assago, in Milan suburbs. With a capacity of 12,000 places it can compete with the top European venues.
PALAVOBIS is Milan's second largest centre in capacity terms and this is why, together with Filaforum, it is used for big performances which attract very large audience.
Many Italian and international artists also perform in the city theatres such as the TEATRO SMERALDO, www.smeraldo.it, and TEATRO NAZIONALE, www.teatronazionale.com, whose calendars never fail to offer entertainment for all ages and tastes.
On rare occasions also MEAZZA STADIUM is used to stage very special concerts, such as the summer tours of artists who attract an exceptional number of fans.
Don't forget that many bars, pubs and night-spots in the city often organize special evenings featuring Italian and foreign singers and events.
In the summer PARCO ACQUATICA, www.parcoaquatica.com, is also used for concerts and radio broadcast of live performances.

FILMS AND THEATRES

Milan attaches a fundamental artistic and social value to theatre life. No doubt this belief has been strengthened by the honor of having been home to two remarkable personalities in the international theatrical scenario: Giorgio Strehler, the famous theatre director and Dario Fo, the Nobel Prize winner for literature in 1997. Throughout the year countless theatre performances are held in a multitude of theatres, from the very famous, centrally located, to the rather decentralized ones which are more off the beaten track.
If you would rather go to the cinema, perhaps for a screening in original language, in Milan there are three cinemas which every week offer first performances in English.
