Opera theatre La Scala Reviews

Exciting place, elegant and with excellent architecture. I went here to see the swan lake. Try it at least once in your life.

The scale .. Symbol at the level .. World. Of Art Classical Music.

A very beautiful place, large auditorium, artistically decorated. The guided tour of the museum and theater is well worth it.

One of the most beautiful and prestigious theaters in the world

Excellent acoustics, beautiful theater, good interpreters

The Temple of opera in the world. Italian pride over the centuries through wars and mixed fortunes

This is the best theater in the world - I hope to sing in this theater when I grow up

Pretty theatre, but does not live up to expectations. It is not very big and in comparison to other theatres a bit of a let down. It is a great theatre to watch a show in and for opera lovers very impressive. but the museum was small and not very interesting.

I cannot express any judgment on this place as I have been working there for several decades. So my judgment would be biased and not very credible perhaps, then I have a ban imposed by the management to set, to release any information.

Theater among the most famous in the world for opera, dance and concerts. The museum inside is also very interesting.

There is no need for reviews for this Italian excellence

Hideous from the outside.

Definitely more beautiful is the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, as well as being the largest ever in Italy.

A mythical temple in the history of music, it manages to be at the cutting edge without losing the charm of two and a half centuries of history

What a treasure for human culture.Never miss it during a Milan visit!

Opera and ballet temple, lucky in Italy to have. Great service last minute ticket. Maybe find a place sheltered and some automatic process would be preferable for it, avoid in the rain by loud voice calling names and numbers of the list... But its voluntary service after all. Theater and stewards are young and polite. Do it in Milan.

It makes my heart swell ... You have to visit the museum

All you can imagine and more. An opera house steeped in the past and optimistic about the future. 2019 s Manon Lescaut was as grand as opera can get.

What about .... truly magnificent theater! Who would not want to perform here?!?

Very nice location. Very amazing. But be carwful that they dont cheat you with the Tickets. We bought Tickets for 100 Euro each over the officially Webseite and then got lousy seats for 36 Euros....

Exciting place, elegant and with excellent architecture. I went here to see the swan lake. Try it at least once in your life.

Visit the stages more museum, place immensely rich in history and charm not to be missed! Better if visited with a guide who can make this experience even more unique.

To see ... some works only for connoisseurs. La Scala deserves anyway.

It is a magical place, cradle of art and expression of genius. A place to live at least once in your life if you are in Milan! Sometimes tickets are hard to come by but you can buy them after a long day of waiting. I hope that the theater will be able to improve this aspect so as to get closer to its fans and ensure greater inclusion to safeguard and pass on this heritage to a wider audience of people and above all to future generations.

It is worth going at least once in your life to see a ballet.

Because it is unique in the world and has a great charm

Very beautiful. I attended a German opera with beautiful setting and great cast. They also have screens on which you can follow the play, in my case it was in German and Italian.

It is the temple of Italian music. All perfect. It's worth seeing an event!

Famous and ancient Italian theater. I could not visit it inside but only externally and I can say that around Italy there are theaters externally more beautiful than this. For the rest for those who have the opportunity to enter it I highly recommend it.

Each time a unique emotion given by the temple of Italian art

The Teatro alla Scala is the main opera house in Milan and considered as one of the most prestigious theaters in the world.
It was built with a decree of the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria issued at the request of wealthy Milanese families who owned the boxes of the old Regio Ducale which was destroyed in a fire in 1776. The families undertook to bear the costs for the construction of the new theater in exchange for a renewal of the ownership of the boxes. The project was entrusted to the architect Giuseppe Piermarini and the theater was built in the area of the Church of Santa Maria alla Scala, which was demolished to make way for the new theater and from which it took its name: New Regio Teatro Alla Scala.
It was inaugurated on August 3, 1778 with the world premiere of "L'Europa Ricuta" composed for the occasion by Antonio Salieri.
The boxes were owned by wealthy families who decorated them as they pleased, the social status of the owner was recognized by the sumptuousness of the box.
The 700 seats in the stalls were intended for the lower classes and were mobile so that they could be moved to leave the area free where you could dance and even for horse riding competitions.
Legend has it that the theater hosts the ghost of a famous 19th century soprano who died young: Maria Malibran, others have seen the spirit of Maria Callas.
Since 1940 the "First" performance of the theater season has been held on the evening of 7 December, the day that corresponds to Sant'Ambrogio, patron saint of Milan.
From the year of its foundation, the Scala is home to the homonymous orchestra, the choir and the corps de ballet and since 1940 the Philharmonic.
It is located in the square of the same name, flanked by the La Scala Theater Museum which is accessible at certain times for guided tours in Italian, French and English.

One of the most famous theaters in the world. Very beautifull. There is a special atmosphere.

Most famous opera in the world. But you must like opera.

The symbol of opera that honors Milan all over the world

The staircase is a bit 'long but it all creates enough the atmosphere then sballa a bang, I would recommend it to a friend and I would see well an evening of dynamism

What to say? One of the most beautiful theaters in the world.

Supposed to be a good place. There is no proper information in English. Online booking is a bit confusing too. Have read reviews that it's great inside but no information if when and how to see it without booking for an event ( could not book cause time didn't work for us). Uploading some pics so others can find it if they go through Google maps.

It is always exciting! The harmonies, the musicians, the scenes, the actors, the set of theater settings. Then you can stand up in the boxes!

The visit cost 9 euros. We can get a glimpse of the Theatre. There is a small museum. I recommend to download the Scala app for more information during the visit.

accustomed during many years of sightseeing to beautiful views, usually the well-known edifices The Milan Opera House is simply disappointing with its vagueness; outside the building is repetitive like the average edifice of anything - even very modest but the interiors of this famous opera house do their ...

If you love Opera, don't miss the chance to watch it in its holiest temple; if you don't, ah well, never mind!

Too bad it's closed, I passed it this morning and I wanted to write you a review to tell you that if it should reopen to the public for any shows, dances or other I highly recommend you go and see it because it is an experience that is not every day , so I recommend it. Hello everyone and have a nice day

Magnificent theater. You breathe art from every wall, every historical manifesto. Majestic and impeccable from every point of view, it is impossible not to visit it at least once in a lifetime. Soon I will also visit the nearby museum, certainly very interesting.

Always top. Outstanding Bubbles! Of course if the seats also had a backrest on the stages, the show would be better enjoyed. Respect for tradition is fine, but discomfort is too much ... not everyone is 20 years old ...

If you cannot visit the galery, it doesnt whorth the 6 euro ticket. Because it was in use, I just saw the galery throw a glass box.
