The Scala Theatre of Milan, often referred to informally as “La Scala”, is the main opera house in Milan.

The structure, designed by the architect Giuseppe Piermarini, took its name from the church of Santa Maria alla Scala, destroyed to make way for the New Royal Ducal Theatre alla Scala inaugurated on 3 August 1778. Starting from the year of its foundation, it is the seat of the Choir, Orchestra, Ballet, and from 1982 also of the Philharmonic. The theater complex is located in the square of the same name, near by the Ricordi Casino, that now hosts La Scala Theater Museum.
