Teatro dell'Elfo, Contemporary theater and theatrical company in central Milan, Italy.
Teatro dell'Elfo is a contemporary theater venue featuring three modern auditoriums named Shakespeare, Fassbinder, and Bausch that host productions year-round. The complex includes a foyer, café, cloakroom, media library, and facilities designed for visitors with mobility needs.
The theatrical ensemble was founded in 1972 under Gabriele Salvatores' leadership, initially performing in social centers before establishing its permanent home in 2010. This trajectory reflects a progression from community-based work to an established institutional presence.
The theater presents classical works alongside fresh interpretations that explore contemporary social issues through performances in Italian and international languages. Visitors experience how traditional stories are revitalized through modern perspectives on stage.
The venue is located at Corso Buenos Aires 33 in central Milan with convenient access via public transportation. Staff members are helpful in directing visitors through the different spaces and providing information about current offerings.
The venue merged with Teatro Porta Romana in 1992 to form Teatridithalia, a partnership that significantly expanded its reach in Milan's performing arts scene. This alliance continues to shape the character and programming of the stage today.
