Teatro alla ScalaMilan, Italy
4.5 / 8
The theater is considered to be the best opera stage in the world. Behind the strict and modest façade of the neoclassical building lies a luxurious auditorium with perfect acoustics. La Scala was opened in 1778, Salieri's opera “Recognized Europe” was chosen as the premier production. The first shows of the great works of Verdi, Puccini, Bellini, Donizetti took place on the stage of the famous theater. Here at different times E. Caruso, F. Chaliapin, M. Callas, L. Pavarotti and other famous soloists performed. Address: | Via Filodrammatici, 2, Milano | Phone: | +39 02 88791 |

With a great disappointment I have to share the experience with the La Scala customer approach.
I booked premium tickets for the box for March 2020. .. Read more »Due to the COVID-19 situation the performance was cancelled. Understandable.
We have asked for monetary refund as we did not plan visit any sooner. Since that request, a lengthy, extremely unprofessional process (if any) started.
Until this very day (December 2020) I have not received the refund.
I had to send over 40 follow up emails and received exactly 3 responses to resend my request. When I called the customer line, a lady said she is not able to help and simply hung up the phone on me.
As much as I understand the whole situation is difficult, the behavior of such a landmark cultural estate is unprecedented and great shame.
Whoever is responsible for customer care, shall question his position.
Due to this, we do not recommend to purchase any tickets in advance unless you are 100% sure the performance will take place. Otherwise be ready that you might lose your money.
In our case, to this day, the La Scala holds 500 EUR for performance which never happened and does not respond to our emails to process the refund. |

If you must choose box seats, only select the front ones. You have been warned!
Attentive, demanding audience. Good sectional coat checks. A bit challenging to catch a cab afterwards in mid winter ?, but the warm glow of the beautiful music and voices should serve well. |

I nice place to visit - I didn't think that I would enjoy this (my son booked it as a trip to see what it was like), but it was a very interesting tou.. Read more »r. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and explained a lot about the history of the building, the patrons, and the shows. We were lucky enough to attend as they were rehearsing La Tosca and watched about 5 minutes from one of the boxes - No photos allowed of that part. Would certainly recommend to people who may not consider an opera tour. |
