A historical opera building in Milan. Architecture wise the building is quite amazing. The exhibit was mostly about the play and important people of the opera. I'm not a fans of the opera, so my review is very subjective from an ordinary people perspective.There's a lot of statue, paintings and prop from peoples that i never heard of. If you're a fan of a classical music and opera i bet this place is a treasure. Pay for a guided tour if you're interested in the history. Other wise the things that you'll enjoy probably unique sketches and drawings of play productions and also taking selfies inside the opera itself.Hope this review helps you plan your visit in milan.

An truly historical theater,breathing history. One can imagine performances in the old times, the entrance, the hallways', the theatre itself. Tickets can be cheap at the day of the performance if still available and are sold near the subway station under the piazza della Duomo.

An icon every where But first and second gallery seats are unbearable After some time even for a short person.Not comfy.Not at all.Aida today was amazing !

Yes sometimes history gives you a strong signal. This happens when you sit into this jewel theater and merge into a concert, surrounded not only by music vibrations but by golden ornaments, red armchairs, 1700 people, a gigantic lamp. Close your eyes and imagine Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Giuseppe Verdi, Maria Callas or the Pavarotti voices. 250 years old maybe means young in Italy, but unmissable for a visitor looking for unique experiences.

You can come here to see and hear an opera, to visit the interior and learn a lot about opera, or to look at the exterior and the architecture....or all three. Therefore, there are a variety of ways to enjoy this attraction, depending on your time and your budget. If you have made it this far and are in Milan, then you owe it to yourself to come here and at least look at the building, as a minimum, if you don't want to do the tour or visit an opera performance. If you get to the cathedral, the opera house is only a few hundred steps away, just go through the Galleria Victorino Emmanuelle II to get there. The piazza in front of the opera house is a classic Italian piazza as well, and worth seeing. The Via Manzoni, which angles off from the piazza, offers a variety of upscale fashion boutiques and restaurants and takes you to the fashion high street of Via Monte Napoleone.

The "Operà of Paris"??? The "Met of NY"??? No way, this is the most important theatre in the world. A must to see in Milan

If you are going to Milan than you must visit La Scala. It is so beautiful on the inside and there is so much history steeped in there that you will learn a ton by visiting its little museum

I've seen two Operas there and both performances were exceptional. The hall is grand, the performers the best - truly memorable each time and I will go back again (they weren't playing last time I was there - too bad) - check the schedule -- really worth going - a special treat.

La Scala opened sales for May performance of Turandot today. So at 2:45 AM EST I was online trying to buy tickets for May 15. Officially box office open at 9 AM( 3AM EST), but despite refreshes my browser did not show any Turandot performances till 3:03. At that point only 50 tickets in side boxes in rows 3 and 4 were available, so I end up with quite bad tickets. When I checked La Scala site this morning around 10 AM EST, Fridays performances were sold out, while there were still a lot of tickets available for Tuesdays performance with the same cast. So when you are planning your trip and could choose between attending performances on Friday or Tuesday, I suggest – aim for Tuesday.

La Scala is an iconic place to visit in Milan.If you come 45 min prior any concert and go to the last of the building, you find out that tickets sells with a big discount!I recommend to take a room for 4 people instead of the stalls, its an interesting experiment!

Despite the high cost of tickets and slightly old fashioned surrondings, seeing an opera in La Scala was one of the most exciting experiences I have had. It was La Traviata, and from the moment the curtains opened everything was perfect - the settings, the performance... I had the feeling I had been absorbed into a film. Highly recommended.

This is definitely something you have to do when in Milan. You can visit the museum and the concert hall which is memorable.As a tip, it is useful to check whether there are rehearsals on the day you plan your visit because it would be such a shame not to see the actual concert venue.In the museum you will have the opportunity to see items belonging to famous people such as Rossini's glasses and a functional piano of Franz Liszt.We were fortunate enough to find tickets in that exact same day to a concert directed by Zubin Mehta. If you have the opportunity to see a concert, do just that!

For years I had dreamed of going to La Scala. This past holiday season was the “it” moment for me after all those years of wishing. My two young adult friends (ages 16 and 15) saw The Nutcracker at La Scala. The production was absolutely exquisite. Images of the performance will remain with me the rest of my life.Tickets are hard to come by. I was able to get tickets by registering I advance on the La Scala web site and noting the day the tickets went on sale for the performance I wanted. Although we were only three in our party I bought a box for four so we got the full experience of this historic European opera house. There are restrictions on how many tickets you can buy so do some research early so you know what your options are. (For example, if you have a party of five, the best option may be to buy a box for six. Buying more than two tickets is hard to impossible, particularly on the floor.) I speculate the reason La Scala makes it difficult to buy tickets is to discourage ticket scalping.Just how good was it? When I asked my two young friends as to their favorite experience Milan their answer was enthusiastically “La Scala.” I consider that a rousing endorsement.

I went there on Feb 7, 2015 for Monteverdi's opera "L'incoronazione di Poppea." It was my first time to Milan and to the opera house. Being a professionally trained classical musician, my heart was filled with overjoy. I was so excited to see an opera at the "world's best opera company!" Normally in New York, I don't pay more than $35 for an opera (even if it's Wagner's 6 hour operas because the Metropolitan Opera would still provide a good seat with a subtitle device and everyone gets a program. For the first time, my husband and I paid over $200 per seat to experience La Scala. When we got to the opera house, we were in shock. We sat on a second row in a box on the first floor (at least we had a full view), The seats had no back rest, NO SUBTITLE, and they don't give you a concert program. So without knowing much about this opera, you'd have to sit there for 4 hours clueless!!! Also the walls are soooo thin that you hear everything in the hallway (high heal sounds, people dragging chairs around right above your box, etc. .I understand it's an old-ish theater but this was seriously dumb. I must say however, the opera itself (singers, costumes, performance and production) was fantastic. I still think the Met opera is better overall. It's strange how you pay so much money for tickets in Europe and yet they don't give you a program (programs are available for purchase and those are thick books, hence expensive). I had the same experience at Wiener Stattoper. There, at least though, I had a seat with back rest and an attached subtile machine. Anyway, if you must experience this theater, go for it but buy the most expensive ticket so you can rest your back and have a subtitle device. Also, print out synopsis of your opera prior to your visit.
