Stepping into La Scala is like entering a world where opera reached its zenith, becoming one of the most popular and beloved forms of entertainment during the 19th century. A place where legendary composers such as Bellini, Rossini, and Verdi crafted some of their most celebrated works, La Scala is often referred to as a second home by iconic figures like Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti.

This experience also gives you a rare chance to see the La Scala Theater up close from one of its exclusive boxes. While the boxes may sometimes remain closed due to production needs, the opportunity to step into such a historic venue and take in its grandeur is an unforgettable part of the tour.

Nice little museum that tells the story of La Scala and features portraits of many famous opera stars. Situated next to La Scala.
A very interesting museum that showcases both musical instruments and beautiful works of art. I even saw a ballet costume exhibition, which added an immersive touch to the whole experience. It’s a wonderful place for anyone who loves music, theatre, and the performing arts – elegant, inspiring, and full of history.
Reasonably priced entry fees, especially for students. I originally wanted to get in around 1 pm at lunchtime, but the woman at the entrance told me that the lights in the theatre wouldn't be on until 4 pm in the afternoon because of an ongoing rehearsal on stage. That was very forthcoming on her part, and not something that you can take for granted. So I came back in the afternoon and all around, the visit was a pleasant experience. I especially loved the photographs and costumes exhibited here, but unfortunately, the majority of the museum has next to no text tags displayed next to the paintings (or just in Italian), which didn't motivate me as a non-Italian speaker to stick around for long. It would have been more considerate for international visitors to have more information in English.
We had a guided tour and to be honest I felt a bit ripped off. Yes it was good to see the theatre from a box (5minutes) and then a tour of the small museum but there really wasn't much to see . No look behind the scenes or see the magnificent mechanics behind the stage set up. A real pity that such an awesome place allows for tacky tourist light visit instead of giving a real tour of interest. I would not recommend it. There's a better display and video at the museum of science where they have some of the original stage mechanism and a great video about la Scala history and the stage mechanism
Loved the visit..so impressive. Our guide Lara told us so much about the theatre and the history of the plays and artists. We had the chance to see the set up of the stage which was just amazing
