ABSTRACT
In 1838 all the decoration were unified in crimson colour. In 1875, the square in front of the Theatre was modified and acquired its present appearance. In 1883 electric power was installed.
Immediately after WW1, the Theatre closed, due to economic difficulties, and reopened in 1921 under the management of the Ente Autonomo Teatro alla Scala. In the same year, the height of the scenic tower was increased, so that the wings could be shifted vertically, instead of being rolled up on large wooden drums placed behind the roof.
