Within two years, the theater was completed by Pietro Marliani, Pietro Nosetti, Antonio, and Giuseppe Fe. The result was a building with a seating capacity of about 3000 in the form of 678 booths spread over six levels of boxes, above which are two “loggione” galleries. Funds for the construction were raised from the Milanese aristocracy, who, by financing the theater, secured ownership of the boxes.
La Scala’s stage is one of the largest in Italy and is 16.15 meters deep, 20.4 meters wide, and 26 meters high.
