We were lucky to get tickets to the ballet on Saturday evening at La Scala. Photographs were forbidden, so I
took this quick snap and put my camera away before many people had arrived. The theater at our level was only
four rows deep, and though we had to stand to see the entire stage, I thought we got great seats. On the bill: Balanchine's Jewels (short video).

What I found most interesting about this theater was that there were separate entrances for different classes
of tickets. The wealthy people who could afford €115 ($165) tickets for floor seats entered by the front door.
Those of us with cheaper tickets entered by a side door and used a completely separate staircase.
