A guided tour with refinedallure, to learn about a true icon of the city of Milan, which the French writer Stendhal described as “the most beautiful theater in the world […] impossible to imagine anything greater, more solemn and new.” The Teatro alla Scala, built in the late 18th century on the ashes of the church of Santa Maria alla Scala after the fire of the Teatro Ducale located in the area of the Royal Palace, is a shining example of neoclassical architecture designed by the illustrious architect Giuseppe Piermarini at the behest of Maria Theresa of Austria. Since its inauguration in 1778 with Antonio Salieri’s L’Europa riconosciuta, La Scala (thus its diminutive name) has become the nerve center of Italy’s musical and lyrical trends, hosting the great personalities of music, dance, and compositional art, as well as great artists and political and literary figures, from Verdi to Callas, Rossini to Paganini, Hayez to Sonzogno.
All these testimonies are now collected in the eponymous Museo Teatrale alla Scala, located in the adjacent Casino Ricordi and the focal point of our guided tour. Only here, listening to the stories told by our licensed guides, can you admire the objects that made La Scala memorable: precious jewels, musical instruments, rare scores, librettos, and stage costumes. Be enchanted in front of the stage dresses of Eleonora Duse or Maria Callas. Or, marvel at a tuft of Mozart‘s hair. Or, Giuseppe Verdi ‘s fortepiano with a cast of his hand, a funerary mask, and other relics found in the room of the Grand Hotel et de Milan where, in January 1901, the Maestro died.
There are plenty of trinkets and relics and just as many anecdotes related to them that our tour guides will be happy to tell you.
