The Filarmonica della Scala is a prestigious orchestra based in the world-renowned Teatro alla Scala, Milan’s iconic opera house. Founded in 1982 by Claudio Abbado, the celebrated Italian conductor, and the musicians of the Teatro alla Scala, the orchestra was created with the vision of enriching the theater's artistic offerings and exploring symphonic repertoire, both classical and contemporary. It complements the theater's primary focus on opera and ballet. The Filarmonica della Scala has since flourished under the directorships of illustrious maestros including Riccardo Muti, Daniel Barenboim, and Riccardo Chailly.

Throughout its storied history, the Filarmonica della Scala has garnered international acclaim for its performances which are marked by Italian musical tradition and an unwavering commitment to excellence. The orchestra often collaborates with esteemed soloists and conducts tours across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Their recent releases, such as "Musa Italiana" and the works of Respighi, showcase their versatility and dedication to both Italian heritage and the broader scope of classical music. Renowned for their interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century works, the orchestra's rich and engaging sound resonates with music enthusiasts worldwide, further solidifying its status as a beacon of Milanese and Italian cultural influence.
