In the Music Programme we have outlined performances coming season at La Scala, please contact us for full details including the latest dates and prices.

We would be delighted to help you select a hotel in Milan that best suits your needs and will tailor-make your holiday to meet your personal specification. Having discussed your holiday requirements with our reservations team, the Kirker Concierge would be delighted to assist with booking opera tickets, private guided tours and reserving a table for dinner at one of our recommended restaurants. (NB Unfortunately we cannot sell opera tickets on their own - they can only be booked in conjunction with a Kirker holiday.)

Byzantine procedures and a substantial subscription scheme means that tickets are hard to come by. We source ours through local agents which does mean that the price will be much higher than the face value of the ticket. We will, however, charge you the amount we pay plus £10 per ticket. The price of opera tickets in Milan range from £300 - £400 and vary depending on the performance and seat category.
