A riveder le stelle

Release Date: 2020-12-07

Overview: "Lucia de Lammermoor" should actually have opened this year's season. But Corona prevents the title heroine from stabbing her bridegroom to death in her madness. Instead of an opera premiere, La Scala is presenting a musical journey through the history of opera. This year, the world-famous opera house is replacing the originally planned performance due to the renewed outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in northern Italy - with a grand gala evening to benefit the artists hit hard by the coronavirus crisis. In the glamorous setting of the legendary Teatro alla Scala, some of the most beautiful voices on the international opera scene - such as Roberto Alagna, Jonas Kaufmann and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča - will sing famous arias from the repertoire, accompanied by La Scala's orchestra. The program is complemented by well-known ballet scenes and performances by actors.
