The La Scala Theatre underwent major restoration and modernisation work in the early 2000s. Work began in 2002 and lasted three seasons. The Milan City Council opted for Mario Botta’s architectural design and Elisabetta Fabbri’s conservative restoration project, while the design of the stage machinery and general coordination were handled by Franco Malgrande. TMA designed, manufactured, and supplied the stalls seats and was responsible for the restoration of the box seats, lacquered with gold leaf, and the balcony seats. The stalls seats were fitted with a display on the back for the simultaneous translation of the operas in 9 languages. TMA supplied the curtain, which was reproduced based on the original one that was temporarily moved to Teatro Arcimboldi, and set up all the technical and service rooms, dressing rooms, and dance rehearsal rooms. TMA also handled the restoration of the Theatre Museum’s seats and furniture.
