As per tradition, December 7th, 2025 is the starting day for the season at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, which offers operas, ballets, concerts… up to July 17th 2026, and again from September 5th to November 21st, 2026.
The Teatro alla Scala is one of the most important opera houses in the world, and a debut at La Scala is for artists, singers, dancers, conductors, at the same time a consecration and a test of their abilities.
For all music and dance lovers, it has become the Opera House par excellence and a point of reference where it is mandatory to go at least once in a lifetime.
The first performance staged at the Teatro alla Scala was the opera “Europa” by Antonio Salieri in 1778.
The inauguration of the season on December 7th, on the evening of the feast of the Milan patron saint, Saint Ambrogio, is one of the most important cultural and social events of the Milanese and Italian life.

Next to the theater, there is also the Museum of Teatro alla Scala which preserves testimonies and objects that allow us to understand and reconstruct the history of theater from its origin to now: costumes, scenographic sketches, letters from composers, portraits, musical autographs, and ancient musical instruments.
The Museum can be visited all year round.
