Mythical theater not to be missed if you are in Milan! upon entering the theater museum, one can see not only the exhibition on the history of the theater, but also enter the theater when there is no rehearsal. it is definitely worth it!
Very nice place. And the museum is also interesting!
I don't know how it looks from the inside so maybe I am it a fair judge but from outside doesn't even worth a photo.
Interesting. Especial I can look at Maria Callas costumes up close.
La Scala is always a unique experience, even after having been there dozens of times. First time for a ballet, which I don't particularly like, but which I appreciated for the quality of the music and the skill of the corps de ballet.
Was totally worth if even if I'm not a classical music fan. Affordable same-day ticket get sold at 5.30pm. But these are the "worse" spots.
Beautiful theater, flagship of the Milan and Italy.
Tonight 27 February 2019 concert dedicated to 5 years since the death of Claudio Abbado with the great pianist Maurizio Pollini
Bad organization in ticket sales, not to say worse. SHAME!!!
Each time is always a great emotion. Friendly and welcoming staff. Comfortable places and clean bathrooms. The shows clearly always manage to leave you breathless whether it's opera or ballet. After all, one cannot expect differently from the Teatro alla Scala. One thing I have enjoyed lately is that just outside the left of the theater, where cycles and motorbikes were parked, they put benches and a monument that creates a beautiful little square. Now there is an image of theater from outside more suited to what it represents for Italy and for the world
The scale is always the scale! Romance and history come together to create that unique atmosphere that allows you to better prepare yourself for the vision of any theatrical performance.
Fish Soup which they serve before the main course was yummy
The best experience of my theatre life! A real must visit if you enjoy ballet or opera!
A place full of history and art, no bigger than Bolshoi, one day I hope to see opera performances here.
Opened in the late eighteenth century, the Teatro alla Scala, which owes its name to the church of Santa Maria della Scala, which occupied the site previously, it is now one of the most renowned and prestigious theaters in the world. Equipped with exceptional acoustics, the Theater was the venue for exceptional composers and orchestra conductors such as Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi and Toscanini. Here the most famous and appreciated opera singers and dancers in the world have performed.
You can still breathe the same atmosphere of 200 years ago.
Elegant, prestigious, fantastic orchestra, excellent artists. It is a magical place
This building does not have the magnificence of some operas, but the visit remains interesting and well organized.
Beautiful theater! Important to pay attention to selected places, some have only partial vision, which makes it difficult to appreciate the spectacle
It's a simple place, but it's home to the history of the Italian opera madness!
If you get a chance, it's nice to see an opera on the spot ...
Quite inconspicuous from the outside but the museum is very interesting
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 3 August 1778 with Europe recognized composed for the occasion by Antonio Salieri and took its name from the church of Santa Maria alla Scalademolita to make way for the New Regio Ducal Teatro alla Scala [2] [3].
Since its foundation it has been the seat of the homonymous choir, [4] of the orchestra [5], of the corps de ballet, [6] and since 1982 also of the Philharmonic. [7] 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.
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. January 5, 1708 and the Regio Ducal Teatro, built nine years later at the expense of the Milanese nobility on a project by Gian Domenico Barbieri. [8]
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)
It is a wonderful place, a must stop if you are in Milan
I saw the show "la traviata" in the stalls. The theater is beautiful, as soon as you enter you feel immediately immersed in a magical atmosphere of another time. Great experience despite the moderate prices, helpful and very nice staff
The most famous opera house in Italy, quality programming with simple and effective staging. Although the tickets look like stuff for the rich, the gallery costs only 12 euros, but it is not easy to reserve seats.
One of the values that still makes our country great.
Very nice place! Very luxurious building and very well kept! You should visit it at least once in your life, the museum is very interesting as you can find objects dating back to different years and musicians with their own characteristics. The theater is very spacious with fabulous ceiling decorations! Very beautifull!!
Fantastic theater, visiting it in a vacuum is a unique experience.
I imagined it to be more impressive than ever a historical theater remains.
I had the pleasure of seeing Fracci ... Nureyev ... Bolle ... and several works
The Theater par excellence is always fascinating and beautiful
The ticket purchase was a bit awkward. The performance (ballet) super.
The Theater known all over the world, attracts the tourist, the visitor, the show is guaranteed. Its location is in one of the most visited areas of the Metropolis and surrounded by Stellate beauties, see the Gallery, the Duomo, Palazzo Marino, the Piazza della Scala, the beautiful monument dedicated to the Genius, Leonardo da Vinci and much more. Experience really magical and exciting, I was in the front rows and I could admire the often ecstatic expressions of the musicians. All around elegance, beauty, art, history of Milan. Really an evening not to be forgotten.
To tell the truth, otherwise I was imagining it from the outside. But it is worth visiting
Great performance, terrible seats - never get the palchi!
Unique theater unforgettable emotion efficient staff magical place
Acoustically perfect. Museum worth the visit. Saw a ballet performance. Thriller to be there.
A tour in which the place was visited in 10 minutes ... a bit disappointing ... if you are rehearsing a play you cannot take photos and everyone should leave.
Wow amazing get to see the auditorium from a box. The gentleman on the box office was very accommodating as I had a suitcase with me that was too big for the lockers so he came out and stored it around the back of his office. Event service and great little museum. Probably worth getting the tour but I didn't have time as had to get to the airport.
We could just peep in but the atmosphere inside is really great. Would love to see a live performance here on my next visit.
A unique place to visit if you should take the opportunity.
Essential, to visit.
The visit, 25.
It's not cheap, but it's the most famous opera house in the world.
Excellent intervention by Mario Botta thus making the theater truly first in the world.
Historic theater. unfortunately I cannot give information about ici. In the very center of Milan.
Place where everone looks nice and smell nice :) Don't go there in casual clothes, you will feel like an alien.
