Introduzione

Founded in 1913, this interesting museum houses exhibits of various costumes and theatre sets that are of great historical and artistic value. Some rooms are dedicated to the La Scala Theater's architecture and the life of the famous composer Giuseppe Verdi, while others house ancient musical instruments, curtains and costumes that belonged to famous artists such as Maria Callas and Rudolf Nureyev.

History

The story of the Museo Teatrale alla Scala started in 1911, when the most popular people of Milan in those years, most of them were exponents of the rich cultural community of the city and, connected to the Teatro alla Scala by their love and passion gathered around a table of the Teatro alla Scala.

The decision to be taken around that table concerned the purchase of the theatre collection belonging to the antique dealer Giulio Sambon that was going to be put up for auction in Paris. Those antiques could have been the starting point of a huge theatre collection whose foundation had been sought for by the Milan intellectual community of the Teatro alla Scala for a very long time, since the very first years of the century.

With the help of the government and 50 citizens, who subscribed 5.000 liras of that time each, after a series of incredible adventures to wring the collection out of the American multimillionaire J.P. Morgan, the dream came true and the collection was then given to the city of Milan.

The Museum was officially inaugurated on March 8, 1913 with a solemn ceremony in the former Casino Ricordi connected to the Teatro alla Scala. Over the years numerous donations and purchases added to the Sambon collection, which is today one of the richest and most envied collections of the world.

Whats inside

The Museum provides a wealth of mementos from the opera house dedicated to the nation’s beloved composers and performers. These include Rossini, Puccini and Toscanini. Two halls are devoted to Verdi alone and contain memorabilia such as the spinet on which he learnt to play, hand-written scores and the baton given to him after the momentous reception of Aida. The most important deposits are in the “Casa di riposo per musicisti” (Retirement-home for musicians) founded by Giuseppe Verdi, as well as in public places. The Museum also includes the Library, founded with its present structure with the 40.000 volumes given in 1952 by Renato Simoni, author and critic of the “Corriere della Sera” who wanted it to be dedicated to his mother Livia, and which is continuously enriched and updated.
