The experience
A guided walk through La Scala’s history and its Theatre Museum, with views of the auditorium from a private box when rehearsals allow.
The guide leads the group through La Scala, in the heart of Milan a few steps from the Cathedral, explaining the musical legends who have performed on its stage — Verdi, Rossini, Pavarotti and Callas among them — and the elegant interiors of one of Italy’s most storied opera houses.
The visit continues into La Scala Theatre Museum, where costumes, set designs and musical instruments from the theatre’s greatest performances are on display, along with private artefacts from its long history; access to the auditorium itself depends on the day’s rehearsal schedule.
