About Teatro alla Scala

Teatro alla Scala, one of the world’s greatest opera houses started on 3rd August 1778, has hosted some of Italy’s most famous opera and other performances. Teatro alla Scala's original structure was reconstructed in 1907. During the bombings of World War II, the theater got seriously damaged. Due to that, it was rebuilt the way we know today. During its early years, like other theatres of the same period, La Scala was a Casino. The building has a museum inside with some extraordinary collection of paintings, sketches, statues and other documents related to the opera. It is located at the downtown of Milan with the capacity of 2000 seats comprises of gold leaf and red velvet choice seats. The theater was not only appreciated all over the world for its Facade but also for its horseshoe-shaped interiors.
