Teatro alla Scala is on Google Arts & Culture: virtual journey through the rooms and the immense archive

The Teatro alla Scala in Milan lands on Google Arts & Culture: by accessing the dedicated platform, it is possible to walk with Street View through the more than 20,000 square meters, discovering the theater, backstage, workshops and more than 259,000 digitized archival images.

“We are happy to present this new project with Google, which has already done a lot in the world with museums. La Scala is one of the greatest opera houses in the world, one of the most important. Over 250 years it has built a wonderful archive with so many images and memories, costumes. Our whole team has put on this site more than 240 thousand photos, 1,200 images that come from the museum, 16 thousand musical documents. A very important collection. An exhibition of twelve historical costumes has been organized with high-definition cameras where you can see the smallest details of each costume,” said Teatro alla Scala Superintendent Dominique Meyer.

Thanks to this project, it is possible to be on the important stage or in the stalls or even on the royal box, walk through the atrium and the Golden Hall and climb up to the roof to enjoy a beautiful view of the city.

A chance to discover the famous theater founded in 1778 that has hosted Italy’s greatest composers.
