Only my wife and I with the tour guide. We were able to stand in a box and watch a rehearsal. Wonderful experience.

We had pre-booked a tour of the theatre online before our visit to Milan and it was much better than I expected. It was over an hour, and we got to see The Royal Box, another box at the front, the stalls, under the stage and around other corridors and it was very interesting. It was about £30 each but well worth it and our guide, whose name I unfortunately can't remember, was excellent. Highly recommended!

Nicole_V

Michael_H

Out tour guide was passionate, informative and had a deep knowledge, we loved learning the history of the theatre and numerous anecdotes and stories, she answered all of our questions enthusiastically. Not to be missed and a fantastic tour guide

Pattee_S

There was too much emphasis put on the museum aspect and not on the actual theater. We were expecting to see the inner workings of the theater and the back stage area like other opera house tours, so we were incredibly disappointed when this did not happen. Even in the museum, we felt the tour guide was not very engaging and the material was dry.

Carlos_M

The experience at La Scalia was highly interesting, in particular thanks to the continuous support of our guide. I The place is definitively worth visiting. The guide gave us detailed and very useful explanations. She showed that deeply knew La Scala, not only its history but also the political context. She helped us to understand and admire one the most important international temples of the music, opera and ballet.
