Teatro alla Scala

The Teatro alla Scala, Milan was built on the site of the ancient church of Santa Maria della Scala and opened in 1778 with a production of Antonio Salieri's "L'Europa riconosciuta". It was badly damaged by bombing in 1943, but restored and reopened in 1946 with a concert conducted by Arturo Toscanini. It closed for restoration and modernization at the end of 2001 and reopened to the public in December 2004 with the same opera by Salieri that had inaugurated the theater 226 years earlier. The Scala is known as an opera house all over the world, but it is also the home of a world-class ballet company.
