General Info

La Scala (complete name Teatro alla Scala), located in Milano, Italy, is arguably the world’s most famous opera house. It was opened on August 3rd, 1778, as the Nuovo Regio Ducal Teatro alla Scala with a performance of Salieri’s singular work Europa Riconosciuta. It is a house steeped in history and tradition, and performing there is considered the pinnacle of any theatrical performing career. Performances at La Scala must end before midnight, so longer operas must start earlier in the evening if necessary, and there is strict adherence to the rule that no one, not even VIP ticket holders, will be allowed to enter once a performance has begun. La Scala Museum, which is part of the house and is accessible via the foyer, is a premier destination in its own right, and houses a sizable collection of paintings, statues, costumes, designs and other documents relating to the history of this noble and famous house. A major renovation was undertaken in the early 2000s, and though many feared that historic and acoustic integrity would be breached, the improvements, such as removing carpeting for better sound and enlarging the backstage area, were significant, and lauded by all when completed. The major parts of the house are open to the public for tours during non-performance hours.
