It’s probably not surprising that an opera house of the caliber of La Scala has something of a dress code. The theatre website says, Gentlemen are kindly requested to wear evening dress for premieres. Gentlemen are in any case required to wear a jacket and tie at all performances. Clothing which do not comply with a proper theatre decorum shall not be accepted. So while women’s attire isn’t specifically addressed, if you know that the guys are going to have to wear a coat and tie to all shows and evening dress for premieres, that means you can probably figure out what the ladies will need to wear!
Like any other opera house, La Scala has a seasonal schedule. Opening day is always on December 7th, which is St. Ambrose’s Day he is Milan’s patron saint, so this is a big annual holiday in the city when most businesses and schools are closed.
