Italy’s La Scala opera house has reopened its doors to audiences on Monday, raising hopes of a gradual resumption of Milan’s vivid cultural life after a nearly seven-months.
The concert marked the debut at La Scala of 34-year-old Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen – won a five-minute ovation and ended with an encore of Verdi’s “Va, Pensiero”.
Artistic Director Dominique Meyer described it as “a symbol of restart not only for La Scala, but for Italy as a whole,”
The concert also marked the 75th anniversary of the reopening of the Milan opera house after World War Two bombings.
Tickets for the next three performances have sold out.
