Artistic Highlights
VERDI IN MILAN
La Scala’s Inaugural Night
The opening of La Scala’s season on December 7th remains one of Europe’s defining cultural events.
Otello returns to the theater where Verdi’s late masterpiece first entered Milanese history, now reimagined by Damiano Michieletto in a new production created for the occasion.
For opera travelers, these performances offer something increasingly rare: artistic significance combined with true social occasion — where the atmosphere in the city becomes inseparable from the performance itself.
