Milan - Italy
Turandot by Giacomo Puccini at the Teatro alla Scala on 18 April 2026
The musical highlight
Milan loves grand evenings. First aperitivo, then La Scala. Turandot. That says it all.
Turandot is conducted by Nicola Luisotti, directed by Davide Livermore, with Anna Pirozzi as Turandot and Roberto Alagna as Calaf, alongside Gregory Bonfatti as Altoum and Mariangela Sicilia as Liù.
Discover Milan
In April, city life once again takes place more outdoors.
An espresso at the bar is just as much a part of the experience as the view from the cathedral terraces in the late afternoon.
For contemporary art off the beaten track, we recommend the Pirelli HangarBicocca with Anselm Kiefer's Seven Heavenly Palaces. Eataly Smeraldo near Porta Garibaldi is the perfect place to take a break and enjoy Italian delicacies.
Milanese locals meet for an aperitivo at MOM Cafè. Diego Rossi's Trattoria Trippa is well worth a visit for its cuisine. It is designed in a very simple style and has achieved cult status. The film ‘House of Gucci’ was shot at Villa Necchi Campiglio, the elegant house museum of Piero Portaluppi, which is well worth a visit. Afterwards, take a stroll around the Bagni Misteriosi: in summer it is a beautiful outdoor swimming pool, and in winter the complex is transformed into an ice rink.
