205,000 photographs, 5,000 costumes, 800 props and accessories and 12,000 posters have been archived from 1950 to today. By freeing up access La Scala hopes that not just researchers, but those who attend the theatre, fans of opera and ballet, and Milanese citizens, will want to visit and explore this extraordinary collection of material.
