A Night at the Opera

A Night at the Opera

Attending a performance at the world's most venerated opera house, La Scala, is an unforgettable experience, regardless of whether you're an opera buff. Tickets go on sale two months in advance, and they sell out quickly. Your best bet is to order online atwww.teatroallascala.org (phone orders aren't accepted). Once you're in Milan, you can check on ticket availability at the Scala box office, located in the Duomo metro station and open daily from noon to 6 PM. About 100 tickets for seats in the second gallery go on sale three hours before a performance—they're available at the ticket office of the theater itself.
