Our guide was... - Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. The tour with a guide is a must as they are able to go into far more detail than you’d get on your own in the museum. I would recommend this tour if you’re interested in this theater’s history

100% recommended - If you are going to Visit La Scala do it with the tour. You will get so much more out of it rather then just wandering around.

A step in time - Our guide was excellent and very thorough. Great overview of history vs present day uses of the opera house . We had access to the theater boxes and watched the ballet rehearsal of the Nutcracker. A must see tour!!

Unforgettable! - My dream came true, I visited the world famous and one can say the main opera house in the world - the Alla Scala theater. Moreover, I got to the premiere in this theater. They gave the opera Rheingold by Richard Wagner. Tickets started selling online 5 months before the performance. The site was down for the first 10 days. Cheap tickets after that remained in single quantities. I strongly recommend everyone who wants to get to the theater not to buy No View tickets under any circumstances. Better add money and at least buy Limited View. I watched it out of interest, from the No View seats the stage is absolutely not visible!!!
