Could have been better - The tour would have been okay if we had a different tour guide. First she was late. Then the hearing pieces were extremely scratchy. See LaScala but not with Elena.

The guide was very sweet... - The guide was very sweet and knowledgeable; however, we spent the majority of the tour looking at the Scala on a TV screen as the guide showed us images of the Scala. We would have loved to actually see these parts of the opera house. We were able to see a box- but were not able to go to any rehearsal spaces, or “behind the scenes” space. It felt like a lot of talking but not a lot of seeing the space.
