A symphonic concert at Teatro alla Scala in Milan — one of the most iconic opera houses in Italy, with gilded balconies, red velvet, and a stage framed like a jewel box.

An evening of symphony at Teatro alla Scala in Milan — the orchestra on the historic stage, the house lights dimming over tier after tier of gold and velvet.

The Room

La Scala carries a rare kind of acoustic and cultural weight. Tier after tier of gold balconies, deep red velvet, and a stage framed like a jewel box. Every note rises and settles differently here.

The Performance

The Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala filling the hall with a sound that seems to come from the walls themselves. Between movements you keep looking up at the layers of history wrapped into every detail.

Milan in a more formal, ornate register — a symphonic night in one of the world's great opera houses. Well worth an evening of its own.
