Piccolo Teatro Magic Theatre - Melbourne

Hidden down one of Melbourne's most famous laneways ' Rankins Lane' off Little Bourke Street in between Elizabeth and Queen is Piccolo Teatro.

A warehouse space that has been meticulously converted using vintage velvet drapes, antique chairs and walls that have been hand painted a brilliant red .. this is Piccolo Teatro.

A mini stage was built and state of the art sound and lighting installed, the walls were adorned with framed photos of all the artists in various productions that helped create this space as well as icons of magic from the distant past. A laneway theatre of magic you never knew about complete with a licensed bar.

Piccolo Teatro offers you an experience, not just magic but an intimate gathering of just 32 people that feels like a private party ... reminiscent of Melbourne in the 1970's when places like 'The Flying Trapeze' and 'The Last Laugh' were a hub for artists.

Rustic yet opulent and welcoming our theatre is the only one of it's kind in Australia and is inspired from venues throughout Europe.

Created and founded by internationally renowned magician Sam Angelico and Raconteur Productions; magicians Richard Vegas and Julia Madotti producers of The Paris Underground Cabaret and Club Soda.

Accessible only by a secluded door and an ascending wooden staircase, the space offers a bespoke experience; a privileged glimpse behind the curtain to a world of the extraordinary, featuring Australia and Melbourne's best magicians and performers.

Shows every Friday and Saturday nights with matinees on select Saturdays.
