Raul Cremona Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico, February 9, 2027

Raul Cremona brings Bravissssssimo!, his comic magic recital accompanied on piano by Marco Castelli, to Teatro Olimpico in Rome, at Piazza Gentile da Fabriano 17 (00196 Rome), on Tuesday, February 9, 2027 at 20:30, with the end expected at 22:00. You get there by Metro Line A to Flaminio and then tram 2 to the terminus at Piazza Mancini, from which it is about 500 meters on foot along Viale del Pinturicchio. Alternatively, bus 910 from Termini to the Pannini stop. The prices published by the theater run from €29 to €38 plus presale, depending on the section, with an online fee of €1.50 per ticket. Tickets are bought on the official Teatro Olimpico website, from the show page, or at the box office on Piazza Gentile da Fabriano.

Language: a performance based on dance, music or visual acts; no English version is announced, any spoken parts are in Italian.

A single evening, a piano, a magician who has been making people laugh for 40 years. Raul Cremona is the father of Italian comic-magic cabaret, the man of Mago Oronzo and of Silvano il mago di Milano, and with Bravissssssimo! he gathers in recital form the characters of a career that began on the Milan stages. The verdict is clear: those who laughed with Zelig and Mai dire gol will find at the Olimpico something more, namely the craftsman behind the masks, and an idea of light entertainment that is seen more and more rarely in Rome.

In the Olimpico season

Bravissssssimo! is part of the 2026/2027 season of Teatro Olimpico, between Gianrico Carofiglio's evening on the mystery of stupidity and, the night after, the musical tribute to Raffaella Carrà. Three evenings in a row, three different languages: the word, magic, song.

Bravissssssimo!: what you will see

Bravissssssimo! is the recital in which Raul Cremona, accompanied on piano by Marco Castelli, offers a surreal journey through his very long artistic memory, among magic, sleight of hand, wordplay, music, gags and characters.

The form of the recital

The theater presents it as Cremona's show in its recital form: no big apparatus, a piano on stage and an artist going through his own repertoire. It is the most exposed form that exists for a comedian, because there is nothing to hide behind. For a magician it is even more so: every trick is done a few meters from the audience, and every mistake shows.

Jacopo Ortis

The first bizarre encounter of the evening is Jacopo Ortis, with an eloquence the presentation calls comically Gassman-like. The character is born, the theater tells us, from a childhood split between a game at the parish hall and an evening at the Arena cinema, where Il mattatore or I mostri were screened. Ortis is a tragic actor who takes himself seriously, announces grandiloquent monologues and always ends with a tavern joke.

Silvano il mago di Milano

Then comes Silvano, the magician from Milan, whom the presentation describes as a distorted image of the greatest Italian magician and a mirror of the artist's first adolescent love. The reference is to Silvan: Cremona made an affectionate parody of him, with the magic word Sim Sala Min, which the Zelig audience knows by heart.

Omen

The third is Omen, the intolerant and very Milanese spokesman for male rights, whom Raul as a child, the theater writes, got to know in a Milan that no longer exists. He is the most openly satirical character in the repertoire: a macho rally that deflates every time at the wife's first phone call.

The merry-go-round ride

During the show, according to the official presentation, Cremona gives with disenchantment and a touch of nostalgia a merry-go-round ride, at times dizzying, at times poetic, confirming himself as the storyteller who uses magic as the art of narration in a comic key. It is the right key to read the evening: magic is not the end, it is the way of telling.

The music of Bravissssssimo!: Kramer, Arigliano, the Quartetto Cetra

Among the recital's musical references Teatro Olimpico lists the splendid untimeliness of artists such as Kramer, Arigliano and the Quartetto Cetra, with Marco Castelli on piano.

The piano on stage

A pianist on stage changes the rhythm of a comic show. It is not background accompaniment: it is a sidekick, an interlocutor, a metronome for the gags. In the golden years of Milan cabaret the piano was part of the act, and Cremona comes precisely from that school.

A choice of taste

Gorni Kramer, Nicola Arigliano, the Quartetto Cetra: these are names from the swing and ironic Italian song of the postwar period, far from trends. Calling them untimely, as the presentation does, is a statement of poetics. It is the music of the parents' radio, of black-and-white variety shows, of an Italy that laughed with elegance.

Why it works

Cremona's comedy has the same pace as those songs: a wordplay, a polite double entendre, a surprise ending. Putting the two languages together has its logic, and I think it is the part of the evening that the adult audience will appreciate most.

Who Raul Cremona is: biography

Raul Cremona was born in Milan on November 10, 1956 and is an Italian comedian, illusionist and actor, considered the first and main exponent of comic-magic cabaret, the genre that joins comedy and illusionism.

A circus family

Cremona comes from a family of circus arts professionals: his great-grandfather was a clown, and his grandfather was cited in Roberto Leydi's project devoted to Milan and its territory. He came to illusionism thanks to his father, who performed magic tricks in the squares, and by frequenting the Clam, a Milanese magic arts circle of which he is now president.

Paying his dues and the Derby

After a long apprenticeship as a magician, and after winning several awards, he arrived at cabaret in the Milan of the Derby Club of the 1980s, where he shared the stage with Paolo Rossi, Claudio Bisio, Aldo Baglio and Giovanni Storti, Enzo Iacchetti and Francesco Salvi. Then he moved to another historic Milan cabaret venue, where for 10 years he worked beside Nanni Svampa, Walter Valdi, Bruno Lauzi and Umberto Bindi, who became real teachers for him.

Mai dire gol and Mago Oronzo

The character that made him emerge is Mago Oronzo, presented in the 1997 edition of Mai dire gol, beside Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo, Bebo Storti, Francesco Paolantoni, Daniele Luttazzi, Simona Ventura and Paolo Hendel. Dirty undershirt, crucifix, rings, flat cap and toothpick: the boorish magician who approaches magic as a street challenge became within a few weeks an icon of the television of those years.

Zelig

At the end of the 1980s, with the closing of the Derby, many comedians moved to Zelig on Viale Monza, from which the show of the same name has aired since 1996. Cremona has been present in every edition of the program with his magic acts, and it is there that Silvano was born, in a pair with Mago Forest, along with Jacopo Ortis and Evok, the preacher who dispenses tagate, that is, aphorisms that turn out to be old jokes.

Recent television

In 2021 he is a teacher, or rather principal, of the magic school in Voglio essere un mago! on Rai 2. From 2022 he is in the cast of Only Fun, Comico Show on Nove. In 2025 he took part in LOL, Chi ride è fuori on Prime Video and became a recurring guest at the table of Che tempo che fa in the role of Mago Oronzo. Also in 2025 Bravissssssimo! is a program on Nove, and he returns to Zelig on Canale 5 in the 2025-2026 season.

Film

In film he has worked with very different directors: Gabriele Salvatores in Kamikazen, Ultima notte a Milano in 1987, Marcello Cesena in Il cosmo sul comò in 2008, Gennaro Nunziante in Cado dalle nubi with Checco Zalone in 2009, Carlo Mazzacurati in La sedia della felicità in 2013, Maccio Capatonda in Italiano medio in 2015.

The characters of Raul Cremona

In 30 years Raul Cremona has built a gallery of comic characters, from Mago Oronzo to Silvano, from Omen to Jacopo Ortis, nearly all born from the relationship between magic and its parody.

Jerry Manipolini

In the evenings at Zelig Cremona shows the other face of Oronzo: Jerry Manipolini, a tribute to Jerry Lewis, a disjointed and clumsy magician who debuts on television in Scatafascio, the program devised by Paolo Rossi in 1997.

Normal Hamilton and Giorgian

Also in Scatafascio Normal Hamilton is born, an improbable American mentalist, sadistic and invasive. In the first shows of the club on the Martesana, instead, Giorgian appears, a French and flamboyant parody of the Italian Silvan.

Sigmund and Joy

Together with Mago Forest, Cremona created Sigmund and Joy, two eccentric magicians specialized in grand illusions of terrible taste, who always take their leave with a peace and love. It is the act in which stage magic, that of tigers and women sawed in half, is taken apart piece by piece.

Steve Giobs and Yuri Papacenko

In 2011, for Crozza Alive on LA7, Cremona invented Steve Giobs, a parody of Steve Jobs presenting the i-Pack. In 2013, for Zelig Circus, came Yuri Papacenko, a swindling magician with a Russian accent. The gallery keeps growing, a sign of an artist who doesn't live off past glory.

Raul Cremona the magic scholar

Besides television, Raul Cremona has published a series of books on the history and technique of illusionism, often with the historian Francesco Maria Mugnai, for Florence Art Edizioni.

The books

Among the titles are Il nuovo emulo di Bosco in 2000, Compendio di nuovi maraviglosi secreti in 2002, Elementale, ovvero La chiave del gabinetto di Raul Cremona in 2004, La magia bianca ri...svelata in 2008, with the anastatic reprint of the 1788 Italian edition of Henri Decremps' secrets unveiled, and L'archivio segreto in 2020. With Mariano Tomatis he wrote L'arte della prestidirigiri... for Rizzoli in 2008.

The characters in bookstores

With Marco Del Conte he brought Omen to bookstores for Mondadori, with two volumes in 2003, and published Le ultimissime lettere di Jacopo Ortis in 2004. The title is a playful tribute to Ugo Foscolo's novel from which the character takes his name.

Why it matters

A comedian who publishes anastatic reprints of 18th-century treatises is not a common figure. It says a lot about Cremona's respect for the craft: the gag of the boorish magician works because behind it is a real magician, who knows the history of the discipline better than many serious colleagues.

Teatro Olimpico, the hall of Bravissssssimo!

Teatro Olimpico on Piazza Gentile da Fabriano was born as a cinema-theater in 1936 and has been a theater since 1981. It has 1,410 seats, 966 in the orchestra and 444 in the gallery. The venue profile is Teatro Olimpico.

A 1930s cinema

The building was constructed between 1935 and 1936 for the Società Generale Immobiliare, in the same years as the Foro Italico. Until the 1950s it worked mainly as a cinema, with avanspettacolo in the intermissions: a place where variety acts, magicians included, were at home. For Cremona it is a return to the origins of the genre.

The amphitheater orchestra

The 966 orchestra seats are on a slope, in an amphitheater: from the back rows you see over the heads of those in front. For a magic show, where seeing the hands matters, it is a concrete advantage. The gallery, which at the box office corresponds to the balcony, has a horseshoe shape.

The stage

The stage measures about 10 meters deep by 12 wide. For a recital with a piano and one artist it is a wide space, and the challenge is all in filling it with voice and gestures.

The architecture

The structure is reinforced concrete, with travertine in the base and the cornices, brought back to its original look by a recent restoration. Inside are a rotunda foyer and wide corridors. The theater reports a judgment attributed to Orson Welles, according to which the Olimpico would be the only place in Rome able to recall the atmosphere of Broadway theaters.

Where to sit for Raul Cremona

For Bravissssssimo! the best seats are in the central orchestra: sleight of hand is played out on the hands, and distance from the stage weighs more than in a show of pure words.

Poltronissima gold

At €38 plus presale it is the section nearest the stage. For a magic recital it is the choice of those who want to see the tricks up close. The front rows, however, are also the ones from which a magician gladly picks his helpers. Those who don't like going on stage should keep that in mind.

Poltrona and balcony

Poltrona and balcony cost the same, €31 plus €4.70 presale. The better choice is the Poltrona: the slope of the orchestra ensures a good view even from the rear rows, and the sound of the piano arrives full. The central balcony remains a good solution for groups.

The side sections

The side sections and those with railing cost from €29 to €30. The saving compared with Poltrona is a couple of euros, and for a magic show the side view penalizes more than elsewhere. Here it is worth spending those two extra euros.

How to get to Teatro Olimpico for Bravissssssimo!

Teatro Olimpico is reached by metro A to Flaminio and tram 2 to the terminus at Piazza Mancini, from where it's about 500 meters on foot: it's the route indicated by the theater.

Metro A and tram 2

From Flaminio station you take tram 2 to Piazza Mancini, then follow Viale del Pinturicchio to Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, five minutes on foot. From Termini the route is identical: Metro A, change at Flaminio.

Bus

The lines with stops near the theater are 220, 232, 233, 280, 301, 446, 48, 910 and 911. The 910 leaves from Termini: get off at the Pannini stop and walk about 300 meters. Lines 200, 201, 53 and the night line n24, useful for the return, also arrive at Piazza Mancini.

By car

From the center you take Viale del Muro Torto toward Piazzale Flaminio and then the Lungotevere roads. From the north you go through Ponte Duca d'Aosta. The Flaminio is a residential neighborhood: on Tuesday evening parking is less difficult than on weekends, but it is best to arrive with half an hour of margin.

Flaminio around Teatro Olimpico

Teatro Olimpico is in the Flaminio neighborhood, level with the Ponte della Musica, in an area that also hosts Auditorium Parco della Musica and MAXXI.

The Ponte della Musica and the Foro Italico

In front of the theater the Ponte della Musica spans the Tiber and leads to the Foro Italico, built in the same years as the Olimpico.

Milvian Bridge

Going up the river you reach Milvian Bridge, with its square full of places. Even on a Tuesday it is the most convenient choice for after the theater.

Toward the center

Along Via Flaminia you reach the edges of Villa Borghese and then Piazza del Popolo, about 20 minutes by tram.

Where to eat before or after Bravissssssimo!

Around Teatro Olimpico, between Piazza Mancini, Via Flaminia and Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, there are pizzerias, trattorias and bars popular with the theater and Auditorium crowds.

With the 20:30 start and the end around 22:00, you can choose: a quick dinner around 19:00, a pizza or a plate of pasta, or dinner after the show, which ends early enough to find kitchens still open. Tuesday is a quiet day, but some places in the neighborhood rest, so if the group is large, book. Ponte Milvio, a few minutes away, has the widest offering even on weekdays.

Accessibility at Teatro Olimpico

Those with reduced mobility who want to see Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico should contact the box office before buying, at biglietti@teatroolimpico.it, to learn about suitable seats and ways of access.

The structure of the hall

The orchestra is sloped and the gallery is on the upper floor. These are elements to consider when choosing the section, especially for those who have difficulty with stairs.

With teenagers

The theater lists no age limits. Comic magic has a natural audience among young people, and Mago Oronzo is known to the youngest too thanks to LOL and social media. The musical and film references, however, speak mainly to adults. It is a perfect evening for grandparents and grandchildren together, each laughing at different things.

A curiosity about Raul Cremona Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico, February 9, 2027

The most surprising curiosity about Raul Cremona's biography concerns genealogy. According to studies of his family tree conducted at the registry office, the comedian would descend on his father's side from Napoleon III: his paternal grandmother was a niece of Felice Merzet, a calligraphy teacher, himself an illegitimate son of the emperor of the French. A descendant of a Bonaparte performing in a dirty undershirt and flat cap as a boorish magician is one of those ironies no comic writer would dare invent.

The second curiosity is also a family one, but recent. His son Giordano Cremona is Kremont, DJ and producer of the duo Merk & Kremont, and his nephew Edoardo Cremona is Eddy Veerus of the group Il Pagante, whose producers are Merk & Kremont. The show business vein, in the Cremona family, runs through at least five generations: from the clown great-grandfather to electronic music.

The third concerns the title. Bravissssssimo! with six s's is also the name of the program Cremona hosted on Nove in 2025. The recital brings to the theater a brand already known to the television audience, and develops it in the most intimate form.

One thing nobody tells you about Raul Cremona Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico, February 9, 2027

What almost nobody says is that the television comedian and the magician are two different artists, and in the theater you mostly see the second. On television Cremona's acts last a few minutes and are built on the catchphrase. In a recital of an hour and a half the catchphrase is not enough: you need real tricks, manipulation, long rhythm. Cremona is president of the Clam, one of Milan's magic arts circles, and has published reprints of 18th-century magic treatises. Those who go to the Olimpico expecting only Mago Oronzo's jokes will be surprised by the technical quality of what they see.

The second thing concerns his school. Cremona trained at the Derby Club and in Milan's cabaret venues, beside Svampa, Valdi, Lauzi and Bindi. It is a school of Milanese musical cabaret that has almost disappeared, made of ironic songs and monologues in dialect. The presence of Marco Castelli's piano and the references to the Quartetto Cetra are not a whim. They are a direct inheritance.

The third: in Rome, Cremona is seen live rarely. A single date at the Olimpico in the whole season means the best seats go faster than you think.

The advice I give you for visiting Raul Cremona Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico, February 9, 2027

Take the central Poltrona, not the side balcony. At €31 plus €4.70 presale, the Olimpico Poltrona offers, thanks to the slope of the orchestra, a clean view of the magician's hands even from the rear rows. The difference with the side sections is a couple of euros, and for magic the difference in view is much bigger.

Second piece of advice: do the full math before buying. With presale and online fee, a Poltrona ticket costs €37.20 in all, a Poltronissima gold one €45. At the box office you avoid the online fee, and for a group the saving is not negligible.

Third: arrive 20 minutes early and sit down early. A comic magic show often begins in the first seconds, with a trick or a joke that latecomers miss. And bring the kids: seeing a magician live, a few meters away, is an experience no video reproduces, and they already know Mago Oronzo.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

Teatro Olimpico doesn't belong to a public body or a large group: it's owned by a joint-stock company created in 1980 through a subscription by citizens. Many people in Rome know it, but it's rarely mentioned.

At the end of the 1970s the hall risked disappearing: the owning company and the film body that ran it had gone bankrupt, and the building was for sale. Adriana Panni, president of the Accademia Filarmonica Romana, promoted a fundraising among professionals, entrepreneurs, intellectuals and enthusiasts. The Teatro Olimpico spa was born, and in 1980 it bought the building from the Società Generale Immobiliare. Panni was its president until 1994.

The consequence can be read in the program. A private theater that has to stand on its own needs full halls, and this explains the opening, from 1981, to high-draw comedy, international dance, popular music, alongside the Filarmonica's concerts. In the 2009/2010 season, according to the Agis rankings, the Olimpico was the second theater in Rome and the seventh in Italy by spectators. A comic magician on the program, in a hall saved by citizens, has something coherent: the Olimpico too, in its way, is a successful magic trick.

The right photo to take at Raul Cremona Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico, February 9, 2027

The right photo is taken outside, on Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, with the Olimpico facade lit and Raul Cremona's name on the billboard. The 1930s building, with the tall travertine base brought to light by the restoration, has a Rationalist sobriety that in the evening, with the lights on, works well even with a phone.

A second shot should be taken inside, in the rotunda foyer, before going into the hall. It is the space that best preserves the air of the 1930s cinema-theater, of avanspettacolo and magicians in the intermissions. For a show that looks with nostalgia at that era, it is the most coherent framing.

The third is taken from the Ponte della Musica, a few steps away: the Tiber at night, the Lungotevere Flaminio on one side and the Foro Italico on the other. During the show, however, the phone stays in your pocket. A magic trick filmed up close stops being magic, and respect for the magician's craft begins here.

Some important events that took place here in history

On March 4, 1965 Pierre Boulez conducted a concert at Teatro Olimpico with the Italian premiere of Igor Stravinsky's Abraham and Isaac and the European premiere of his Elegy for J.F.K. It's perhaps the most important date in the venue's musical history, and it shows how much weight the Accademia Filarmonica Romana had in the cultural life of those years.

In the following years the Olimpico hosted productions in which art and music met: Stravinsky's L'Histoire du soldat in October 1966, with a backdrop by Giacomo Manzù, Niccolò Castiglioni's Tre misteri in 1968, with a sculpture by Mirko, Stravinsky's Mass in 1975, with the golden forms of Corrado Cagli.

1980 was the turning point: the Teatro Olimpico spa was born and bought the building, and from 1981 the hall changed name and vocation. Moses Pendleton's Momix debuted at the Olimpico in April 1982 and became regular guests. Mikhail Baryshnikov arrived with the White Oak Dance Project in 1995, the Bolshoi Ballet in 1996. In May 1996 Gigi Proietti brought here A me gli occhi, one of the monologues that made the history of comic theater: a one-man show with live music, the same form Cremona chooses for Bravissssssimo!.

Who has played Raul Cremona Bravissssssimo! at Teatro Olimpico, February 9, 2027

The stage of Teatro Olimpico has seen musicians such as Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Jessye Norman, Zubin Mehta, Giuseppe Sinopoli and Pierre Boulez, tied to the Accademia Filarmonica Romana's season, the dance of Baryshnikov, Joaquín Cortés, Lindsay Kemp, Maurice Béjart, the Bolshoi and Momix, the songs of Lucio Dalla, Pooh and Giorgio Gaber. Among the protagonists of its history the theater also names Dario Fo and Nicola Piovani.

Then the comedy: Gigi Proietti, Enrico Brignano, Vincenzo Salemme, Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo, Neri Marcorè, Ale e Franz, Gioele Dix, Cinzia Leone, Lillo e Greg, Max Giusti, Maurizio Battista, who this season returns to the Olimpico with Se non vinco... imparo.

For Cremona the list has a special flavor. Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo, who are at home at the Olimpico, are longtime companions on the road: with Aldo and Giovanni he shared the Derby stage, with the trio the 1997 edition of Mai dire gol, and in their stage shows Tel chi el telùn, Potevo rimanere offeso! and Ammutta Muddica he appeared with the character of Silvano. On February 9 the magician from Milan returns to a hall that has already seen his companions on the road pass through.

February in Rome, an evening at the Olimpico

In early February Rome is in the thick of the theater season and outside the big tourist flows. Evenings are cold, the Lungotevere on the way out of the theater is windy: a coat is needed.

A full week at the Flaminio

February 9 is also the eve of a double debut devoted to Raffaella Carrà: at the Olimpico the next evening the musical tribute Raffaella! Sognando la Carrà plays, while at the Brancaccio Raffaella il Musical debuts. Those in the mood for variety have a whole week to get their fill.

Carnival

February 9, 2027 is Shrove Tuesday, the last day of the Roman Carnival. A comic magic show, with its characters in costume and its disguises, is after all a small carnival on stage: hard to imagine a more fitting date.
