The Teatro alla Scala in Milan is among the world's most famous opera houses. Most of the greatest singers of the past 200 years have appeared here. It was inaugurated on 3 August 1778 - FACT-👍

Ish Rai

Amazing experience. Beautiful old theatre . A complete must do in Milan. We went at 1pm and put our name down for cheap tickets and then came at 5pm to collect them. If you do the tickets are €13pp😁

Florence Hervé

Awesome place and awesome operas. Possible to get last minute tickets at the entrance, or to queue for one of the 140 12€ tickets sold for the higher gallery some afternoons. A bit long, but worth it!

CastaDiva Resort & SPA

The common thread that binds CastaDiva Resort and Italian opera , allows our guests to fall in love not just with Lake Como but also with the history of the famous soprano Giuditta Pasta . Read more

What an experience! Outstanding performance:-) Perfect all through. The building itself is also worth a visit. Be smart when buying the tickets. The hotel packages are not a great deal. Friendly staff

EDR

Everyone has its own free cloakroom. At the break you can ask for your ticket to be changed with any unsold ticket free of charge, just ask at the desk in the main foyer. The staff is very helpful.

Daniel

Fun place to visit and tour or see an opera! Sometimes there are rehearsals during the day that can be seen if you are not planning to stay for an opera.

James Martin

Museum is worth a visit, quite small but you get to see the view of the theatre from inside a box.

Marco Papale

If you can get hold of, or afford , a ticket to La Scala, opera-lovers worldwide will hold you in higher esteem. La Scala has a massive stage, 2,015 seats and some of the best acoustics in the world.

Bardia K.

Production value is world-class, as would be expected from one of the most renowned opera houses. DO NOT buy a 2nd row seat in a box unless you can stand and look over a shoulder for an entire show.

Ayse Ruya Altay

By far the best place to see in Milan! Make sure to have a visit, to see inside the theater and if possible see a performance inside. It is really amazing!

This is one of the most famous opera houses in the world. If you’re watching famous Italian operas , better to get your tickets in advance. Ticket prices range from €5 to about over €180.

Legendary theatre . Very big stage and beatufil saloon. Must watch a show here but the museum is not must to see if you have limited time

Loved costumes ! Great collection of music instrument. Balcony looking at the theatre .

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

Undoubtedly the most prestigious opera house in the world, it was built from 1776 to 1778 and holds 2 000 people in its six-tiered auditorium . – Green Guide Editor

Alexander Golubev

Couldn't drop a tear on Tchaikovsky, it was too smooth. Where is the passion in the duet? He was happier in solo. This was like Russian sightseeing on MonteNap, not shopping. It didn't Crack my Nuts .

ABP

To get drink or snack during the break you need to move quickly. Pay at the cashier and then collect the order. Nearest taxi after the show will be in front of Duomo , prepare for a fight...

La Scala's reputation for excellence as an opera house is based on the musicians who have performed there, but also on that section of the audience who queue up for the cheap tickets ... Read more

It owes its name to the place where it was built, by the neoclassical architect Giuseppe Piermarini: the site of the church of Santa Maria alla Scala. http://tinyurl.com/d4zj93f

A temple to music - splurge for the box seats and be swept away by the majesty of the experience no matter what is playing.

Cosimo Borgia

Beautiful decor with a very rich and interesting choice of operas, ballets and concerts .

Dominica

Beautiful opera house and legendary place to be for opera lovers! ❤️

Gabi Bulumac

Really big difference between the exterior and magical elaborate interior of the building , unforgettable experience 😱👍🎼🎶🎵🎻🎺🎷

Camilo Angel

Take the museum tour and if you’re lucky, you can catch the rehearsal of the next opera

Bonnie Heim

If you are touring the museum , check the sign by the box office , if there are rehearsals on, you won't be allowed to see the theatre .

Оля Д.

Dont take the cheapest tickets at the gallery ,coz you'll have to stand up all the time if you want to watch, not If you want only to listen)

Bryan Lee

A lot of history here. The orchestra is great!

Mavi Doukaki

A must see! Breathtaking theater

Carl Griffin

Wonderful venue in which to catch a performance .

Paulo Santana

Undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful theaters in europe

Much better the orchestra stalls than boxes (very small and overcrowded) and galleries

If you have no time for the evening performance , at least go inside. Classy opera house.
