Opera theatre La Scala Reviews

One of the most famous opera houses in the world, it is very fortunate to have a structure of this level in the city. For opera and classical music lovers the opportunity to attend works and concerts each year with the best world performers and in an exceptional scenographic context. Excellent value for money with the possibility of buying discounted tickets (especially for under 30s). Ticket service in Piazza Duomo and always impeccable online.

They could make a small "sacrifice" and arrange the school groups to attend the shows from a view closer to the stage

An emotion to be seen listening to enjoy together with people from all over the world

Wonderful Building which is a theatre with history. Just behind gellaria and Duomo of Milan . Ticket is expensive.

Visit of the theater very interesting .the place is superb

THE BEST OF THE BEST, ALL OVER THE WORLD.
HOPE TO VISIT IT SOON.

I really liked the opera Bohemia.
The ticket was taken on the site. No complications. The site clearly shows the overview of the selected box.
The first and second place has chairs with backs.
The rest of the banquettes without backs.
There are subtitles in English
It can be seen well, but the back is tired.

Living in Milan and not going to see a piece of Italian history would be a real shame ... Just a stone's throw from Piazza del Duomo you can admire one of our country's historical theaters, a hymn to culture that you can never forget. .!

Beautiful Opera House. Such rich history has been woven into this Opera House through dramatic storytelling by singing.

A wonder stepping on the place where so many opera stars have sung

Great place with an incredible orchestra..cher but satisfied therefore largely profitable

Some notes on the Teatro alla Scala
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.

The Teatro alla Scala, often referred to informally as "la Scala", is the main opera house in Milan. Considered as one of the most prestigious theaters in the world, for 240 years it has hosted the main artists in the international field of opera, and, more generally, of classical music, often commissioning works still present in the billboards of the major theaters in the world.
The theater was inaugurated on August 3, 1778 with Europe recognized composed for the occasion by Antonio Salieri and took its name from the church of Santa Maria alla Scala demolished to make way for the New Regio Ducal Teatro alla Scala
Since its foundation it has been the seat of the homonymous choir, the orchestra, the ballet corps, and since 1982 also the Philharmonic. The theater complex is located in the square of the same name, flanked by the Casino Ricordi, now home to the La Scala Theater Museum.

History

- The premises -

The first structures dedicated to opera in Milan were the court theaters that alternated in the courtyard of the Royal Palace: a first hall named after Margaret of Austria-Styria, wife of Philip III of Spain, erected in 1598 and destroyed by a fire on 5 January 1708 and the Regio Ducal Teatro, built nine years later at the expense of the Milanese nobility on a project by Gian Domenico Barbieri.
For the stage of these theaters, works by important composers were commissioned, including: Nicola Porpora (Siface), Tomaso Albinoni (The fortress at the cimento), Christoph Willibald Gluck (Artaxerxes, Demofoonte, Sofonisba, Ippolito), Josef Myslive ek (The great Tamerlano), Giovanni Paisiello (Sismano nel Mogol, Andromeda), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Mithridates, king of Pontus, Ascanio in Alba, Lucio Silla) ...

The symbolic building of the city of Milan, which the Romanians link us to many notable events. From the success of the unparalleled soprano of Heracleia Darclee, considered to be the best opera voice for 25 years at the time, who sang at the Scala in Milan 116 times and for whose voice Puccini wrote Tosca and Manon Lescaut, of Angela Gheorghiu, many genius Romanians have taken his threshold and contributed to the increase of his prestige.

Because it is the heart, the soul and the brain of music in Milan

New building block of the Teatro alla Scala, designed by the great architect Mario Botta. Another work that will make Milan a city capable of bringing together ancient architecture with contemporary architecture

Much smaller outside than we expected. It doesn't stand out too much. Fleeting visit from outside.

Beautiful theater, one of the best of Italy, the second after Massimo in Palermo

An unmissable
This theater, be it by its history, its prestige or its beauty, is an inmanquable
Enter to discover its museum and especially to see inside it you will not regret it

Very refined theater and spectacular musicians. The passion transpired in every movement

Personally, one of the most beautiful works of art in the world. Elegant and with Italian character.

If you go there for the first time, do it well in advance, so as to have time to admire the theater, otherwise the beauty of the place will distract you from the show you went to see.

An incredible atmosphere. The program must look got to watch a performance.

Definitely a must visit place. It has a museum where you can see the clothes that the actors wore in the famous plays. When o went to visit there was a rehearsal going on and i watched it from upstairs.

Unfortunately only seen from the outside ... :-( next time from the inside! :-)

What to say; absolutely wonderful, titanic, sparkling.
Perfect place to (re) discover art with a capital A.
Thrilling concerts.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Amazing! We had a great experience watching Der Freischutz here.

One of the most prestigious theaters in the world.
The location in the center is easily accessible by underground from the Duomo.
The furnishings are luxurious and elegant.
The staff is very attentive and professional.
There is a large, free, very controlled and easily accessible cloakroom service.
The theater is very large, the armchairs are clean and comfortable.

Threats about the dress code for the orchestra (opera, but NOT the premiere) are greatly exaggerated. Although many ladies are beautiful, and gentlemen almost entirely in dark suits and ties. However, there are those who spoil all this wonderful atmosphere by leaping into the hall in their outer clothing (we are talking about winter-autumn clothes). Better they stayed at home.

Better inside than outside, but its history surpasses it

In reality, an inexperienced tourist will never understand that this is one of the most famous musical theaters, so a small building, covered with black patina

Landmark theater, excellent Opera enssemble, wonderful chorus. Unforgettable experience.

Very interesting visit. Finding out what's behind the Milanese theater was engaging. The guide is very good

A wonderful evening experience of music, staging and building decorations. Alla Scala is all you ever imagined it to be.

Incredibly on the outside it does not say anything even being one of the three most important lyrical theaters in the world. Then. The Colon Theater of Buenos Aires is splendid

Part of a tour of Leonardo's Last Supper, blast from the historical past. Next time here, will book a show!

Good acoustics. Very good orchestra. They also make contemporary music.
