La Scala Opera House

La Scala Opera House

Introduction

The building in front of the statue of Leonardo da Vinci is the opera house La Scala. It was built in 1778 on the site of the former Church of Santa Maria alla Scala, was damaged by an air raid in 1943, and the current structure was rebuilt in 1946. If you have the chance, you can go to enjoy an opera.

Additionally, inside there is the Museo Teatrale alla Scala (La Scala Theatre Museum). Along with sheet music and performance costumes on display, you can also take a look inside the theatre itself — a great opportunity for those who haven’t seen a performance. Transport Address: P.za della Scala 2, a 5-minute walk from Duomo Station on M1 and M3 metro lines. Ticket/Opening Hours La Scala Theatre Museum ticket: €5.
