The sun sets late, there is an evening breeze and a slower pace to the day, the timeless enchantment of a magical place: summer has returned to Milan’s Sforza Castle<\/strong> with a new season of “Milano \u00e8 viva – Estate al Castello<\/strong>,” a new version of the Estate Sforzesca. From June 21st to September 10th<\/strong>, the program, comprised of 75 astounding shows, brings the best of live music, theatre, and dance to the stage of the magnificent Cortile delle Armi, featuring national and international guests.<\/p>\n

For those visiting Milan on vacation or for work, summer evenings at Sforza Castle are an event to look forward to<\/strong>. It is the perfect opportunity to bask in art and music, have fun and share a unique experience. The castle is usually seen as a historic and iconic place in the city, but during the summer months it transforms and is filled with colourful lights, people and the sounds of live performances. Here is a small selection of events recommended by Hotel VIU Milan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Events at Sforza Castle in Milan: music, theatre and dance light up summer evenings<\/h2>\n

This summer, there will be live music for all tastes at Sforza Castle<\/strong> featuring rock, pop, blues, electronic, jazz concerts, and more. The night heats up on July 26th, with the unmistakable guitar notes of Alex Britti<\/strong>, who brings a show that merges the two souls of his thirty-year career: his singer-songwriter side and his more pop-oriented side.<\/p>\n

On August 31st, Carmen Consoli and Elvis Costello<\/strong> take the stage. The two artists have chosen Milan as their mini-tour’s third and final stop, which will also stop in Rome and Palermo. The unprecedented duo certainly has all the elements to enchant the audience.<\/p>\n

The list of theatre events at Sforza Castle <\/strong>is just as rich, prioritising comedy, a perfect element that seamlessly blends with the summer atmosphere.<\/p>\n

On July 2nd, Max Angioni, <\/strong>known from shows like Zelig, Italia’s Got Talent, Le Iene and Lol2, presents “Miracolato,” his new comedy show in which he miraculously revisits historical events. On July 19th, Luca Barbarossa and Stefano Massini<\/strong> present “La verit\u00e0, vi prego, sull’amore,” a theatre piece inspired by the poetry collection of the British poet Wystan Hugh Auden, which reflects on the meaning of love beyond easy and preconceived definitions. On September 9th, Barbascura X<\/strong> brings “Amore bestiale<\/strong>” (Bestial love), a stand-up comedy and scientific dissemination act that irreverently describes the most extravagant mating rituals in the animal kingdom.<\/p>\n

Dance and classical music <\/strong>are also featured, with two unmissable events curated by Teatro alla Scala<\/strong>: the First Dancers, the Soloists and the Ballet Company<\/strong> of the Theater perform on July 10th, and the Philharmonic Orchestra\u2019s tribute to Mozart, Beethoven and Verdi is presented on July 11th.<\/p>\n

The complete programme of “Estate al Castello” is available on the <\/strong>Sforza Castle website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
