One of the pioneers of Milanese caf\u00e9-concerts<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the first building on Foro Buonaparte designed by Giuseppe Pirovano, the Eden Theatre was inaugurated in 1892, based on an idea by its two creators, Gaspare Stabilini and Malacchia Colombo.
Pirovano himself was responsible for designing the venue, which quickly became one of the pioneers of Milanese caf\u00e9-concerts.
It featured a hall with boxes on three sides, a small stage and numerous tables in the remaining space.

It immediately became an elegant venue for variety shows featuring international performers, including Bella Botero.
For a short period (about two years), it also hosted Greco-Roman wrestling championships and other events.

In 1914, management passed to the Suvini-Zerboni company, which changed its name to \u201cCabaret Rouge\u201d. Thus began the theatre’s new journey.
However, the new name was not popular, especially with Luciano Zuccoli, who proposed the name \u201cTaverna Rossa\u201d in the pages of Corriere della Sera.
The colour red was a clear reference to the new d\u00e9cor.

Umberto Saba also worked in the offices of the new business, agreeing to take care of the administration of the venue and revise the scripts of some of the shows.

In 1923, Anna Menzio, who later became the famous Wanda Osiris, made her debut on the stage of the Taverna Rossa.

A year later, in 1924, it changed management again and reverted to the name Teatro Eden, but no longer as a caf\u00e9-concert, which had fallen out of fashion. It hosted prose and operetta.

In 1932, it became a cinema and closed permanently in 1986.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

Nel primo edificio di Foro Buonaparte creato da Giuseppe Pirovano, nel 1892 inaugur\u00f2 il Teatro Eden da un'idea dei suoi due creatori, Gaspare Stabilini e Malacchia Colombo.
Fu lo stesso Pirovano ad occuparsi della progettazione del locale che in breve tempo divent\u00f2 uno dei pionieri dei caff\u00e8-concerto meneghini.
Una sala munita di logge sui tre lati, un piccolo palcoscenico e numerosi tavoli nello spazio restante.

Fin da subito divenne un ritrovo elegante per assistere a spettacoli di variet\u00e0 con interpreti internazionali, si esib\u00ec pure Bella Botero.
Per un breve periodo (circa due anni) ospit\u00f2 anche i campionati di lotta greco-romana e non solo.

La gestione nel 1914 pass\u00f2 alla societ\u00e0 Suvini-Zerboni che ne cambiarono il nome in \u201cCabaret Rouge\u201d. Inizi\u00f2 cos\u00ec il nuovo percorso del teatro.
Il nuovo nome per\u00f2 non piacque, specialmente a Luciano Zuccoli che sulle pagine del Corriere della Sera propose il nome \u201cTaverna Rossa\u201d.
Il colore rosso era un chiaro rimando al nuovo arredamento.

Negli uffici della nuova attivit\u00e0 lavor\u00f2 anche Umberto Saba che accett\u00f2 di curare l\u2019amministrazione del locale e revisionare i testi di alcuni spettacoli.

Nel 1923 debutt\u00f2 sul palco della Taverna Rossa Anna Menzio, che divenne poi la famosa Wanda Osiris.

Un anno dopo, nel 1924, cambi\u00f2 di nuovo gestione e torn\u00f2 a chiamarsi Teatro Eden, ma non pi\u00f9 come caff\u00e8-concerto, ormai passato di moda.
Ospitava prosa e operetta.

Nel 1932 divenne una sala cinematografica e chiuse definitivamente nel 1986.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"teatro-eden","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"Il Teatro Eden","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
