Saad M ™August 15, 2016The 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-👍Upvoted 1 week ago
Ish RaiApril 14, 2017Amazing 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 HervéNovember 30, 2012Awesome 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 & SPAMay 23, 2013The 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
DanielAugust 10, 2014Fun 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.
EDRApril 18, 2015Everyone 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.
Grazyna OSeptember 4, 2014What 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
Ayse Ruya AltayOctober 18, 2015By 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!
Bardia K.April 2, 2017Production 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.
James MartinJune 12, 2016Museum is worth a visit, quite small but you get to see the view of the theatre from inside a box.
Marco PapaleFebruary 1, 2012If 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.
ReemJune 14, 2015Named after a woman who initially built a church in the same place. It which was demolished to create this beautiful theater. If you're lucky while touring, you'll see the performers during rehearsal!
Ozgur O.November 28, 2015Legendary 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
Michelin Travel & LifestyleJuly 18, 2013Undoubtedly 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
Luxos MagazineFebruary 9, 2012La 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
DaisyJuly 1, 2015Loved costumes! Great collection of music instrument. Balcony looking at the theatre.
eric bornemannJanuary 19, 2018A temple to music - splurge for the box seats and be swept away by the majesty of the experience no matter what is playing.
Milano è TurismoJuly 31, 2012It 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

ABPNovember 28, 2016To 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...
Cosimo BorgiaMay 27, 2016Beautiful decor with a very rich and interesting choice of operas, ballets and concerts.
Gabi BulumacFebruary 2, 2015Really big difference between the exterior and magical elaborate interior of the building , unforgettable experience 😱👍🎼🎶🎵🎻🎺🎷
Otel.comSeptember 19, 2011This 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.
Alexander GolubevFebruary 29, 2016Couldn'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.
- Camilo AngelAugust 26, 2019Take the museum tour and if you’re lucky, you can catch the rehearsal of the next opera
Bonnie HeimSeptember 24, 2013If 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.May 18, 2016Dont 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)
Livio RussoFebruary 23, 2014Much better the orchestra stalls than boxes (very small and overcrowded) and galleries
MrWhiteman ReviewsAugust 24, 2014If you have no time for the evening performance, at least go inside. Classy opera house.
Liudmila ZavyalovaOctober 27, 2011This is one of the main attraction which makes to be proud of living Milan
You may see a concert for €5 and opera for €12. Just for you to know: you can afford culture!
