Inside La Scala...
The theatre also has an associate school, known as "La Scala Theatre Academy" (Italian: Accademia Teatro alla Scala), which offers professional training in music, dance, stage craft and stage management. This school used to be located in the Civico Polo Manzoni building, the same building where lobbying for the MilanMUN conference will be taking place.
