Message from La Scala:

To halt the diffusion of Coronavirus, the Prime Minister has decreed the suspension of any events and initiatives and of any meeting in public places, including cultural ones, until Sunday 8 March.

In compliance with these provisions, all public performances and events at La Scala until 8 March are cancelled.

The box-office of the Theater is closed until 3 March.

The same applies to all opera houses in northern Italy.
