What to expect
Your guide will lead you through La Scala's grand foyer and into the theatre itself, describing how the space has shaped operatic tradition. You'll then move into the museum, where display cases hold authentic garments, props and instruments tied to landmark productions. Expect to spend roughly equal time in both spaces. Note that rehearsals or private events may restrict access to the theatre proper, limiting the visit to the museum. The pace is leisurely; no rushing between stops. Crowds vary by time slot.
