Very beautiful stage design and surroundings. The staff were helpful and resourceful. La Bohéme is always beautiful, this was my third time I've seen it on stage. But I couldn't hear the singers enough. The best vocal performance was the Bass who played Colline the philosopher. Good old Classic

Have seen opera in a number of countries and the current staging of Puccini’s La Boheme was incredible. Theater is smaller than you would think so is intimate. Acoustics are excellent and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Getting tickets take some planning, but well worth it if you are a fan of opera and want to see it at its absolute finest.

We took the official tour of La Scala and it was well worth the cost. We were able to visit the museum - not of great interest to us since we didn't know many of the performers featured there but still interesting. Our guide took us to the royal box (we all got to sit in it), several other smaller boxes, and the stage area where we learned how the mechanics of the stage work. They were setting up for a performance that evening so we could not go into the orchestra pit but were able to see it and also sit in some of the seats in the main part of the theater. Our guide gave us so much information during the tour about the history of the theater and previous owners of the boxes, how they move sets around, recommendations on how to pick the best seat locations if attending a performance. We definitely learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful, historic theater.

After reading about its significance, we decided to drop by to take a look at the theater and its museum even though we did not have time to attend a performance. Before visiting, check their website on whether the theater can be accessed. If there are no events or rehearsals going on, you can walk into several of the boxes giving you a view of the theater. Otherwise, only the museum can be viewed. The museum was alright with artifacts and exhibits. The place did get a bit crowded with what appeared to be numerous school groups.

Our tour group went on a tour of the theatre and the museum. On the tour in the theatre, we visited the Toscanini Foyer then we went into one of the third level box for a view of the interior of the theatre. From the theatre, we visited the museum which provided a good history of the theatre and its performers.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Great to see inside such a famous theatre. Lovely costumes and the theatre still looks amazing. The orchestra was practising do it made the visit more real.

During our visit to Milan, as an opera-lover, it was important for me to attend a performance at Teatro La Scala, even as a piece as obscure as 'Andre Chenier' (though we were lucky to have famed tenor Jonas Kaufmann sing the title role). The auditorium is a jewel box of a theatre with a spectacular laced ceiling and gorgeous chandelier. It was also a treat to see the ushers in uniform all in black with a gold chain. The acoustics are fantastic in the auditorium. However, if you are NOT an opera fan, you may not wish to attend a performance. Our seats were the rear seats on the Box level. The front seats of the box are actual chairs and have screens with translations. The rear seats are backless stools, which could be hard seating for a long performance. The views from the back of the box are cut off, so your chances of seeing the complete stage are low. The box can also trap heat with the velvet upholstery with any air conditioning at a minimum. I had wanted to be more dressed up than I was, but the heat in Milan made that difficult. If you want a program, make sure you obtain/purchase before the performance as they can be sold out by intermission. Also the bar line can be quite long at intermission. Getting to attend La Scala was a highlight for me, and I thanked my partner and my sister who attended with me, for their patience in sitting through the performance.

Visited for opera Rusulka , this opera house was beautiful. Very basic from the outside but stunning from the inside. I sat in a box on the second floor near the back and had an amazing view / acoustics. I definitely recommend buying the front seats as the back seats are stools . For a 4 hour opera, that could be a long time.

We went to hear Verdi's Macbeth. An outstanding production. The orchestra was excellent & the singing & staging was wonderful also. If you want to hear opera as it was meant to be this is THE place. Expensive for good seats but worth it. Splurge on yourself, it will be a treat if you are an opera lover.

This is one of the quintessential opera houses of Europe, a place where the world’s best singers have dreamt of singing since 1778! The museum houses all sorts of memorabilia related to the rich history of this beautiful venue. But the best moment of the tour, at least for us, is stepping into one of the boxes overlooking this majestic interior and imagining watching the debut of legends like Paganini or Verdi or Mozart with a packed house of thousands. The only thing better than the tour is actually attending a concert live!
