Proposals for blind and visually impaired audiences
For us, “An Art Theatre for All” also means a theatre that is open, inclusive and accessible to everyone. To this end, we are committed to improving and implementing our products and services through ongoing dialogue with our audiences.
A key aspect of this vision is the Piccolo Aperto project, set up with the contribution of the Fondazione di Comunità Milano; a structured process aimed at fostering profound and lasting change.
As part of this constantly evolving project, for the 2025/26 season, we have created a range of proposals that can also be accessed by blind and visually impaired audiences.

The touch tour is a sensory itinerary led by our operators to explore the stage, the costumes and the props just a few hours before the beginning of the performance. Once the touch tour is over and the spectators are seated in the auditorium, the audio description transmitted via headphones provides an account of the show, including more emotional aspects to allow audience members to imagine and interpret the action on stage.
WEBSITE
The icon at the bottom left on all the pages of our website offers access to a tool that allows a range of simplified content viewing options to be activated and managed, rendering our website as legible as possible.
SPACES
Our spaces offer routes that are free of architectural barriers and are equipped with toilets for disabled people.
The auditoriums have reserved spaces for spectators with visual, hearing or motor-related disabilities.
With a view to facilitating awareness of spaces for blind and visually impaired spectators, our auditoriums are equipped with tactile maps – plans and key details of the three theatres and the Chiostro Nina Vinchi printed with raised services and accessible by touch. At the top right of each map, two QR codes link to the relative “guides to tactile exploration” (in Italian and English), providing instructions and useful information on how to interpret the map.
