Teatro alla Scala, opened in 1778, holds a significant place in operatic history. Commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and designed by Giuseppe Piermarini, it quickly became Italy’s leading opera house and one of the most prestigious globally. The theatre has premiered works by composers including Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti and Puccini.

Scala is known not only for its acoustics but also for its demanding audience traditionally known to express their opinions vocally. Throughout its history, the theatre has undergone several renovations while maintaining its neoclassical architectural style. It represents a cornerstone of Italian culture and continues to host world-class opera performances and concerts.
