What to expect

Milan, renowned for its design, fashion, and nightlife, also boasts rich cultural and historical heritage. At the heart of the city, near Piazza del Duomo, lies the world-famous Teatro alla Scala. Built in 1778, this iconic theater was commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and designed by architect Giuseppe Piermarini. It quickly became a symbol of classical music and culture, hosting influential figures and nobility. Despite wartime damage, the theater was restored to its former glory, and, in the early 2000s, a modern extension by Swiss architect Mario Botta was added. Today, it houses both the historic theater and the Museo Teatrale Alla Scala

Easy to meet guide as per instructed. This was an unexpected experience. I enjoyed it more than I thought. Guide provides interesting facts and stories behind the theatre. I am amazed by the acoustic and design of the hall. I would definitely like to book a ticket to watch an actual performance in this theatre the next time I come visit Milan.

Highly recommend this tour! Although it's a guided tour of the opera house and the adjacent museum, the explanations were lively and engaging. We were lucky enough to catch a rehearsal and even got to enjoy a sneak peek of the opera performance from one of the boxes.

We went to the opera house ourselves to meet the tour guide. The guide that day was excellent, providing very detailed explanations for many locations within the opera house. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of the opera house's background and history, you should definitely join this tour.
