Gala Fracci

Fifth edition
Teatro alla Scala, Milan 2026-01-31 ... 2026-02-03

The ballet “Gala Fracci” pays tribute to one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century – Carla Fracci. On January 31 and February 3, 2026, Teatro alla Scala in Milan presents this star-studded celebration of her artistic legacy. Featuring La Scala’s ballet company – including étoiles, soloists, members of the corps de ballet, and students of the Accademia Teatro alla Scala Ballet School – alongside international guest stars, the gala brings to life iconic roles and signature works that Fracci  performed. In 2026, the fifth anniversary of her passing coincides with what would have been her 90th birthday – a meaningful moment to honor her profound impact on the world of ballet. More than a retrospective, Gala Fracci is a vibrant affirmation of dance in the present and a salute to its future.

Teatro alla Scala, inaugurated in 1778 in the heart of Milan, is internationally recognized as a temple of opera and ballet. With its grand architecture, exquisite acoustics, and storied past, La Scala is a destination where cultural dreams come true. Legends like Maria Callas, Rudolf Nureyev, and Carla Fracci herself have graced this stage, where tradition and innovation merge seamlessly. A visit to La Scala offers an unforgettable artistic experience and can be perfectly combined with time in Milan’s elegant city center or day trips to the lakes and historic towns of Lombardy – from Bergamo to Cremona and Lake Como. Gala Fracci is more than a ballet evening – it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the soul of Italian culture.

The Gala Fracci honors the life and legacy of legendary Italian ballerina Carla Fracci, whose career was deeply connected with Teatro alla Scala. Since its launch in 2022, the gala has become a cherished fixture of the ballet season. The fifth edition in 2026 holds special significance, marking both her 90th birthday and the fifth anniversary of her passing. The program features excerpts from ballets that shaped Fracci’s storied career – from classical masterpieces like Giselle to dramatic works like Romeo and Juliet. Performed by the full La Scala ballet company and the school’s most promising students, the evening is enriched by the presence of acclaimed international guest dancers. Under the baton of conductor Kevin Rhodes, Gala Fracci becomes a sophisticated and emotional tribute to an artist whose name is synonymous with the beauty of classical ballet.

Music trip to Milan for 3 days / 2 nights with exclusive program. The highlight is a visit to the famous Teatro alla Scala on the second evening to experience a magnificent performance in a world-famous environment with global stars.

The 3 day city trip includes the hotel in your selected category, a gourmet dinner on the evening of the first day, a private walking tour of the city with a guide in your language, a visit to the La Scala Museum, premium tickets for the selected event at the Teatro alla Scala, and an aperitif before the performance.
