Hotels Near Teatro alla Scala - Milan, Italy
 The building of this exceptionally beautiful Italian opera house can be credited to Empress Maria Theresa of Austria who had it approved to replace the previous Milanese opera house, The Royal Ducal Theatre, after it was destroyed by a fire in 1776. The new theatre was built on the former location of the church of Santa Maria della Scala, from which the theatre gets its name. The theatre closed in 2002 for a two year renovation project where significant changes were made. The stage was entirely re-constructed and an enlarged backstage now allows more sets to be stored, permitting more productions. The seats now include monitors allowing audiences to follow opera libretti in English, French, and Italian.
