Behind closed doors but inside Live. In the year of the pandemic prior to of the Teatro alla Scala from Milan it will be staged in a totally new look. With the theaters closed and at risk of new outbreaks, after a first contagion began among the choristers a few weeks ago, the opera house, among the most famous in the world, has renounced the representation of Lucia of Lammermoor by Donizetti under the direction of Yannis Kokos, replacing the “traditional” opera by a music and dance show. Give him 16.45 On Monday, December 7, therefore, the day of Sant’Ambrogio, and for almost three hours of the program, Rai 1, Radio 3 and Raiplay they will broadcast “To see the stars again”, the particular opening night of the Scala season that will see 24 singers from all over the world on the Milanese stage, as well as several illustrious dancers.
Not a simple Opera Gala, but a dramatic show. This is the idea that the director wanted to bring to the stage Davide livermore. The opera scenes will alternate, from Rigoletto from Giuseppe It gave, which will open the musical evening, at William Tell from Gioacchino rossini, which will close it. In the 15 titles, with arias and duets drawn from the works of the most beloved Italian and European composers, such as Gaetano Donizzetti, Giacomo Puccini or Richard Wagner. These will alternate with three choreographies by Nureyev, Massimiliano Volpini and the Parisian Manuel Legris. The scenography, then, will be the axis of the theater. As reported fashion, with the stage behind him, the teacher Riccardo chailly he will direct the orchestra that will be arranged instead of the stalls, while the choristers will be arranged in the boxes, each in his own. For each song, then, the scenery will be changed. Dance and song will alternate with narrative elements, from Verdi’s letters to the writings of Victor Hugo, performed by famous actors.
The chosen title is certainly suggestive. On the one hand, the phrase “see the stars” takes up the final verse of hell in the Divine Comedy Dante (.. and then we went out to see the stars again), a clear tribute to the 700 years since death of the great poet Dante, which occur in 2021. On the other hand, the title also wants to be “a good omen” for the future of the show, which Covid has brought to its knees, hoping, in fact, of “going out soon to see the stars” , with a return to normalcy.

Even the “Diffuse First” tradition, which carried the work around the city, will have to be postponed this year. But Milan will remain present, both thanks to a drone that will fly over the silent city, as well as Christmas gifts, and with fashion: different stylists, from Armani to Dolce & Gabbana to Valentino, will dress the artists on stage.
