Record takings for La Scala in Milan, with almost 40 million euro

The Teatro alla Scala closed 2025 with record box office receipts, almost 40 million euro (+7.3% compared to 2024). In addition to this, the Museo Teatrale alla Scala had record takings of 3.4 million.

"Ever since I took up this post, I have indicated that our priority should be to bring as many Milanese, and not only, to the theatre as possible. Such an unambiguous, compact figure, for performances at the Theatre as for admissions to the Museum, indicates that we have taken the right path," said Superintendent and Artistic Director Fortunato Ortombina, emphasising that this "is the fruit of the bond between the Theatre and the City".

Faced with the great challenges that await us in the coming years,' he added, 'the figures we see today reassure us not only because they show a financially sound La Scala, but also because they confirm the city's identification with its theatre. The more La Scala is of the city, the more it will be of the world: the real key to internationality is to be increasingly rooted in the territory'.

"The box office result over the calendar year is the highest ever recorded by the Theatre", said the Marketing and Fundraising Director, Francesca Agus, explaining that this is also "the reflection of an average audience fill rate that has risen to over 90%, even on performances of modern or contemporary repertoire (Lady Macbeth of Mcensk by Dmitri Šostakovič, Anna A. by Silvia Colasanti or The Name of the Rose by Francesco Filidei)". The number of companies that have taken out corporate subscriptions has also grown, while "over the festive period we registered a great response from the public to the 'Regala La Scala' Christmas campaign: results have almost doubled since 2024".

The figures for the Theatre Museum are also positive, as Director Donatella Brunazzi explains: "in 2025 the Museum confirmed and surpassed the positive trend of previous years, registering an overall attendance of 335,262 visitors with an increase of 41,645 compared to 2024 (+14%)". This result 'was favoured by a particularly favourable conjuncture for tourism in the city of Milan and by a strategy oriented towards the diversification and qualification of the cultural offer'.
