As it happens, my husband and i were the only two people on this tour of La Scala. Our Guide, Louella, took full advantage of the opportunity to personalize the tour, bringing us into areas and sharing her extensive knowledge of the history, art, music, and architecture in every possible way. truly, it was one of the very best tours we enjoyed in milan.

We were really lucky and got to see inside the theatre, even when a rehearsal was on. Our guide was well-informed and shared lots of stories about the architecture, the composers, and opera stars.

The guide met us outside and walked us around the building and the neighboring square while talking about the history of the La Scalla. Later we went in the museum where history continued, but now it intertwined with artifacts, paintings, instrument and sculptures. At the end of the tour we were invited into lodges to observe actors practicing for the opera. In conclusion we liked the tour.
