Teatro Carcano, Neoclassical theatre in Porta Romana, Milan, Italy.
Teatro Carcano features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium decorated with stucco, gold leaf, frescoes, and a large ceiling medallion above the performance space.
Commissioned by Giuseppe Carcano and designed by Luigi Canonica, the theatre opened in 1803 on the former grounds of San Lazzaro convent.
Throughout the 19th century, the theatre presented opera premieres, including Donizetti's Anna Bolena and Bellini's La sonnambula in the 1830s.
The theatre maintains a capacity of 990 seats across its orchestra and balcony sections, offering performances of classical and contemporary plays.
The theatre building underwent complete reconstruction in 1914, replacing its original wooden structure with stone architecture designed by Nazzareno Moretti.
