Milan

After an introduction to the opera of the evening, many of us went to Milan early to either do some roaming around or shopping. Must say with the exception of the Cathedral one could be in any major city.


The entrance and main square of Milan.

The interior is equally as impressive, with beautiful stained glass and frescos.
After lunch we headed to the church where Leonardo di Vinci's last supper is located in hopes of getting tickets for later in the trip. No luck, so another attempt at getting them on line.

This was our night for La Scala, which is the opera house where most of Verdi's opera had their premier. A very impressive hall.




As the performance lasted over 4 hours we did not arrive home until 3AM.
