Presentation

Cancelled

Following the earthquake in Morocco, the chartered plane that was due to bring the orchestra and choir of La Scala from Aalborg to Brussels was unable to leave the airport in Marrakech. All efforts to find alternative transport for the 200 musicians and singers were in vain. This evening's concert is therefore unfortunately cancelled. All ticket holders will be contacted in the course of next week. Thank you for your understanding.

Little music is so universally loved, few melodies speak to you so directly, as those of Giuseppe Verdi. And that is by no means just true of the famous chorus of the Hebrew slaves 'Va, pensiero' from Nabucco. To mark the 70th birthday of their artistic director Riccardo Chailly, the orchestra and choir of La Scala present an anthology from the great choruses and overtures of Don Carlos, Macbeth, Il trovatore and Ernani, but also lesser-known gems by the maestro. Get ready for a rich palette of emotions, from deep solemnity to immense joy and from the religious to the worldly. A grand season opener, con italianità!
