Itinerary
Accompanied by a guide passionate about music and history, this tour takes you around the famous Teatro alla Scala, constructed in the 18th century and currently one of the most famous opera houses in the world. The world's greatest singers have performed here over the last 200 years.
During the tour we will admire the auditorium from the balcony, appreciating all of the details of the palace, including the boxes, the stage, the stalls, and the main hall.
