ACCADEMIA TEATRO ALLA SCALA

Founded in 1813 as the Imperial Royal Academy of Dance, the Accademia Teatro alla Scala is today a renowned centre of excellence for training in the performing arts. Under the Presidency of Victor Massiah and the Direction of Luisa Vinci, it welcomes around 1,700 students across more than thirty programmes within its four departments: Music, Dance, Stagecraft & Workshops, and Management.
Supported by leading public and private institutions, the Academy offers scholarships and advanced training programmes led by over 300 teachers, including artists and professionals from the Teatro alla Scala itself.
Direct contact with the professional world forms an integral part of the curriculum, through internships, projects, and performances that are part of the opera house’s official season.
An international outlook is one of the Academy’s defining features: its students take part in productions, concerts, and artistic initiatives in Italy and in more than twenty countries worldwide.
