Summer at the Castle 2026

The Summer at the Castle is back to thrill you with its 14th edition: the Cortile delle Armi transforms into an open-air stage starting June 12 (with a preview on June 10), hosting a program of extraordinary events through September 9.

This year’s artistic direction is led by Federico Russo.

Under the Milanese sky, a parade of cult singer-songwriters and new voices from the Italian and international scene, as well as many tributes to the legends of the past. Soloists, ensembles, bands, choirs, and orchestras will take you on a journey across every genre and every corner of the globe; but also music that interacts with dance, cinema, and words.

From August 1 to 25, the Castello stage transforms into a cinematic arena with the Cineteca Milano film series, featuring great classics and cult films accompanied by special events.

The words of the theater, ready to leave you breathless and make you laugh heartily; and the words of exceptional guests who, with the stars on their side, will entertain you with intimate and sincere conversations.
