Piccola Scala, Opera house in Milan, Italy

Piccola Scala was a 600-seat opera house on the first floor of the Teatro alla Scala complex, entered from via Filodrammatici in Milan. Designed by Piero Portaluppi and Marcello Zavelani Rossi, its rectangular hall had a steeply raked stalls floor, two tiers of nine boxes each, a three-sided gallery and a stage of about 210 m² beside the main theatre's stage.

The opera house was designed by architects Piero Portaluppi and Marcello Zavelani Rossi and opened in 1955. It was created to complement Milan's opera scene and reflects the architectural style of that period.

The theatre's name comes from its size: a second, smaller hall inside the La Scala complex, reached from via Filodrammatici. Its stage hosted prose evenings with the Piccolo Teatro, dance, Colla family marionettes, lectures and film screenings, including Chaplin's Modern Times in 1972. The foyer and boxes were decorated in ivory and gold after Alessandro Sanquirico's 1830 designs for the main hall.

The hall no longer exists: it was demolished during the 2001–2004 reconstruction of La Scala, so there is nothing to visit on via Filodrammatici. The entrance once stood under the portico, reached by two short flights of stairs past the ridotto. The former ridotto space housed La Scala's evening ticket office for some years.

The stage of the Piccola Scala, about 210 m² (roughly 14 by 15 metres), stood directly beside that of the main theatre; with all backdrops removed, one hall could be seen from the other. The proscenium opening measured about seven metres.
