The world's most famous opera house. Founded
in 1776 to replace a previous theatre destroyed
by fire, La Scala was designed by the great neoclassical
architect Giuseppe Piermarini and opened on August
3, 1778 with Antonio Salieri's opera "Europa Riconisciuta."
In 1839 the first opera by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
was performed. He soon became the composer whose
name is linked more than any other with the history
of La Scala. Year after year, visitors come to
La Scala to experience not only the superb performances
onstage, but also the exquisite atmosphere of
Milan's musical jewel.  December
2004 sees the grand re-opening of La Scala after
a lengthy restoration.
