Nureyev's Nutcracker in the world's most famous opera house — the 6pm NYE performance is perfectly timed.
Watching Tchaikovsky's ballet at La Scala on New Year's Eve is a once-in-a-lifetime night out.
The 18:00 start means you're out by about 20:15, a 5-minute walk from Piazza del Duomo and the gala dinners.
Gallery seats are cheapest but have a restricted view. For four together, book boxes or stalls early.
For the four of us
Early show leaves time for a late dinner. Dress smart.
