Premium tickets

You get the best tickets from us. These are in the parquet (yellow area). The entrance with our premium tickets takes is through the main entrance and allows access to the “Toscanini Foyer,” where the prosecco bubbles during the breaks. Elegant evening wear is recommended. We promise a successful evening.

There are a limited number of places for wheelchair users with company.

Unfortunately, we have no influence on the row and place number, but up to 3 seats will be next to each other. The seats are allocated by the theater, but are always in the yellow area. If you book before the start of the pre-sales, then we are sure we will get the tickets. Later it may sell out and at the box office there are never any remaining premium tickets in the parquet area anyway.

How to dress for La Scala?

We often receive questions about the dress code. Please allow us to give suggestions. It’s primarily about making you feel comfortable and not out of place. There is no strict dress code.

Visiting La Scala is a very emotional experience and you are sitting in the best places. We recommend elegant evening wear, gentlemen are well advised in the Smoking or suit with bow tie. Absolute minimum is slags and jacket. We recommend an elegant dress to the ladies, it may, but does not have to be a long dress. You are also well dressed in elegant trousers. You are not rejected if he comes without a tie and she wears flat shoes, by no means. But you may feel better if you can empathize and be confident with yourself.

Entrance to La Scala

With our tickets you can reach the theatre through the main entrance under the columns, where you can get directly into the lower foyer. There is a bookshop. During the breaks there are also drinks to buy.

The cloakrooms are on the right and half a floor below the auditorium on the right.

The Toscanini Foyer

Almost every performance has one break, sometimes long performances have even two breaks. To get into the beautiful Toscanini foyer with the busts of the famous musicians, you have to take the middle staircase from the lower foyer. As it is a historic theater, there is no lift.

On this occasion, you pass the balconies and you can take a look inside. From below, the rows with the balconies look quite romantic, but if you want to spend several hours for an opera in them, it can quickly get uncomfortable, particularly on the stools in the back and in the side balconies. Premium tickets are in the parquet. Best view and comfortable.

The big breaks usually last 30 minutes, then there is spumante or prosecco, of course also water and some snacks.

The inexpensive places in the upper rows of the gallery can only be reached through the entrance via the Theatre Museum. The upper rows also do not have access to the Toscanini foyer.

Taking pictures in La Scala

Photography is permitted during breaks, but strictly prohibited during the performance. The photos may only be used privately, but may not be published or posted. Not even if no people can be seen on it. The laws are quite different here in Italy. You can read this on the internet under the heading “Panorama Freedom.”

Hotels

For your music tour, you can choose between hotels 3 to 5 stars and even the 7-star hotel with butler inside Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. You will either share your preferences when booking or we will suggest which hotels offer favorable conditions during the requested period.

We have the following hotels to choose from:

• 4 stars: Hotel Sanpi, Hotel Marconi
• 4 stars within walking distance of Scala: Hotel dei Cavalieri, Hotel Sina de la Ville, Starhotels Rosa Grand, Hotel Straf
• 5 stars: Grandhotel Duomo, Bulgari Hotel, Armani Hotel, Palazzo Matteotti
• 7 Stars Town House Galleria

Hotel prices depend on the season and whether important trade fairs or meetings take place in Milan. In particular, the furniture fair in April each year is driving up prices. The sooner the La Scala trip is booked, the more reasonable are the prices.

• Additional nights at a preferential price
