Opera Holidays to Milan

Plan your unforgettable La Scala Experience with IFC. 

The Première: Lady Macbeth Of The Mtsensk District. Be there for every unforgettable moment at Teatro alla Scala, beginning with the iconic and glamorous Premiere on 07 December. This year's highly anticipated opening also marks Riccardo Chailly's final season as Music Director, and it's dedicated to the great composer Dmitry Dmitriyevich Shostakovich. Milan, Italy’s stylish capital of fashion and culture, is also home to one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world—the legendary Teatro alla Scala. Since its opening in 1778, La Scala has been the stage where the greatest composers, conductors, and singers have made history, from Verdi and Toscanini to Callas and Pavarotti. To attend a performance here is to step into the very heart of Italian opera tradition, surrounded by opulent décor, impeccable acoustics, and an audience as passionate as the performers themselves. An evening at La Scala is more than a concert—it is a timeless cultural experience woven into the fabric of Milan.
