La Scala, theatre in Milan, one of the principal opera houses of the world and the leading Italian house. In full: Teatro alla Scala (Italian: “Theatre at the Stairway”)

Nowhere more so than Milan. Understated, but supremely elegant, is the dress code there. Men should wear a dark suit and ladies don their finest. The more modest the seats, the less formal your attire needs to be, but this is not the place for shorts, t-shirts and tank tops.

The entrance ticket to the Museum does not include a guided tour. However, the Museum offers a series of tools to allow a rich and conscious use of our collections: The free application for smartphones and tablets, with audioguide included. The interactive totems present in the foyer and in each room of the Museum.

La Scala is an impressive sight whether or not you're an opera or ballet aficionado. The building's exterior may not be as remarkable as Milan's Duomo, just a stone's throw away, but a tour of its opulent interior is a must for any music lover. Along with the Duomo and Leonardo da Vinci'sThe Last Supper.
