Teatro alla Scala — The World's Greatest Opera House

The Teatro alla Scala (La Scala, Piazza della Scala, the opera house built 1776-1778 by Giuseppe Piermarini for Maria Theresa of Austria and inaugurated in August 1778 with a performance of Antonio Salieri's 'Europa riconosciuta') is the most important and most celebrated opera house in the world — the institution where the careers of Verdi, Puccini, Toscanini, Callas, and virtually every major singer and conductor of the 19th and 20th centuries were made and defined.
