This venue started out in the 18th century as a forum for scientific discussions and meetings as well as a place for entertainment, but soon became a dedicated theatre. The interior is magnificent, with its soaring tiers of boxes surrounding a small stalls area. One of the first performances here in 1770 was a concert by Mozart, who was just thirteen at the time. It’s a small theatre, with a current maximum audience of only 363.

Even if you can't see a performance at La Scala the museum which is part of the complex is well worth a visit, full of opera, ballet, classical music history and fascinating memorabilia, and their is opportunity to peak into the opera house if a performance in progress. An hour well spent.

On its own terms a lovely location. The history of Gabrielle is closely entwined with that period of Italian history and adds real depth to the visit.

I went to a performance of Verdi's Macbeth. The opera house was built over 200 years ago and has not lost its luster. The acoustics are some of the best that I have experienced anywhere. The orchestra may not be as tight as the Vienna Philharmonics but one senses that the members enjoy themselves. Their enjoyment is contagious. The Maestro Gianluigi Gelmetti conducted with heart and displayed sincere enthusiasm, showing emotions openly - the Italian way. The singers were excellent. The audience appeared mostly to be from the area which made the whole experience even more authentic. I went to La Scala last year and can honestly say that will prefer to return to a performance at the Teatro Sociale. Actually, I can't wait to come back.
