FAQ — La Scala Opening Night Transfer

What is the Prima della Scala and when is it? +

The Prima della Scala is Teatro alla Scala's season-opening gala performance, held every year on 7 December, the feast of Sant'Ambrogio, Milan's patron saint. It's one of the most prestigious nights on Milan's cultural calendar, and hotels and transport in the city centre are in high demand that evening.

How does the pickup after the performance work? +

Before the evening we agree an exact meeting point near Teatro alla Scala with you, on WhatsApp. Performances typically run several hours with intermissions, so your driver waits nearby and is ready whenever you come out — the fare is fixed when you book and doesn't change if the evening runs long.

How much does a private driver for La Scala cost? +

Get an instant fixed quote by sending your hotel or airport, the date and passenger count on WhatsApp. For reference, our published city–airport fares start from € 70 (Linate), € 165 (Malpensa) and € 180 (Bergamo); a hotel-to-theatre transfer within Milan is typically lower.

Can you pick us up from the airport before the show? +

Yes. We track your flight by flight number and can take you straight to your hotel to change, then on to Teatro alla Scala for the performance, all at one agreed fixed fare.

Is Piazza della Scala accessible by car that evening? +

The area is busy and partly within Milan's ZTL restricted zone on gala night. As a licensed NCC operator, ZTL access is included in your fare, and your driver knows the closest point they can drop you and pick you up.

Can you also take us to dinner before or after the performance? +

Yes. Tell us your evening plan on WhatsApp, hotel, dinner, theatre and return, and we'll quote the whole evening as one fixed fare with your driver on call throughout.
