Teatro alla Scala

Teatro alla Scala Review

The season runs from December 7, the feast day of Milan patron Saint Ambrose, through June. Plan well in advance, as tickets sell out quickly. For tickets, visit the Biglietteria Centrale (Galleria del Sagrato, Piazza Del Duomo Daily noon-6 Duomo), which is in the Duomo subway station. Tickets are also available via La Scala's automated booking system (02/860775). To pick up tickets for performances—from two hours prior until 15 minutes after the start of a performance—go to the box office at the theater, which is around the corner at Via Filodrammatici 2. Although you might not get seats for the more popular operas with big-name stars, it is worth trying; ballets are easier. The theater is closed from the end of July through August and on national and local holidays.
