The crème de la crème of Italian opera
La Scala in Milan has long been synonymous with operatic excellence. The theater has been the stage of historic world premieres, such as Gioachino Rossini’s La gazza ladra or Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello. Both Italian composers enjoyed resounding successes here, building up their reputation and that of the opera house. It therefore seems only natural that the artists of the Teatro alla Scala present in this concert a selection of opera choruses by Verdi and Rossini, led by Riccardo Chailly.
Throwback to a phenomenal evening at the Philharmonie with the Orchestra and the Coro del Teatro alla Scala, all the expert lead of maestro Riccardo Chailly. The pomp and splendour of the triumphant 'Overture' from Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco are still ringing in our ears! Now we’re wondering, which of Verdi’s masterpieces is your favorite? 🤔
