Teatro Dal Verme — Attraction in Milan

Ludovico Einaudi playing the piano with other instruments (cello, violin, noise guy??) was ASTOUNDING! I loved every minute and he played for 2 hours straight. Here are some pictures from the night. The temperature was fine and I wore a sweatshirt plus jean jacket over and felt normal. There was no security and pretty much no lines. I would not recommend putting your coat at the check in!! People waited FOREVER after the concert. HOWEVER- the reason for 3 stars: SO MANY FLASH PHOTOGRAPHERS??? Why??? They should have made an announcement about turning them off. It lasted the whole entire 2 hours. AND people were constantly coming in and out during the whole concert. Why don’t they make them wait?

Would definitely recommend checking your coat as the seats in the theater are very close together with little space for bulky winter jackets. Just know that there is a line to collect your jacket after the show. Finally, the bathroom in the basement can get very crowded with long wait (especially for the women’s lavatory). There are other less crowded restrooms in the upper level, so don’t wait in line, just...
