The Milan Auditorium stands just a short walk from one of Milan's liveliest neighborhoods, the Navigli.

Conceived from the outset as a multifunctional space suitable for a wide range of activities—from symphonic, choral, chamber, jazz, and popular music concerts to large-screen film screenings—the hall was officially inaugurated on October 6, 1999, with a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 Resurrection conducted by Riccardo Chailly, thereby becoming the permanent home of the Milan Symphony Orchestra.
It is a welcoming "home of music," ready to embrace the local audience as well as citizens of the world who love beauty and music.
