About Teatro alla Scala
Teatro alla Scala opened in 1778 and has since been synonymous with Italian opera and ballet. Its celebrated auditorium, museum, and working stage reveal a house where tradition and innovation meet.
Advance booking is recommended, especially on weekends, holidays, and during the December season opening around Saint Ambrose Day (7 December).
Standard tickets typically grant access to the Museo Teatrale and a view of the auditorium when not in use for rehearsals or performances.
Audio guides and guided visits add depth — from composers and stars to stagecraft, costumes, and the acoustic genius of the horseshoe design.
Review ticket options, including combined museum + theatre access or guided tours when available, to tailor your ideal visit.

Visiting La Scala: What to Expect
Here’s how a typical visit unfolds — from museum galleries to a glimpse of the auditorium and the thrill of standing in a house where music changed the world:
After security, begin at the Museo Teatrale alla Scala, where portraits, scores, costumes, and set models bring two and a half centuries to life. When the auditorium is available, step quietly into a box or gallery and take in the red and gold splendour, imagining overtures, curtain calls, and encores that once shook these walls.
Guided tours, when offered, weave through public spaces and illuminate anecdotes of premieres, the exacting Milanese public, and the theatre’s evolving technology. You’ll leave with a sense not only of a building, but of a living tradition. 😊
