Fresh off the press, La Scala’s 2010/2011 Season programme, which showcases 20 productions, can now be viewed in full at the theatre’s website.

Presenting La Scala’s most extensive programme in twenty years, it features nine operas by Italian composers, including Monteverdi, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Verdi, two operas by Puccini, two by Rossini and a new work by Luca Francesconi. 

An overarching theme of the 2010/2011 Season are appearances from some of the world’s finest singers, namely tenors like Marcelo Alvarez, Jonas Kaufmann, Juan Diego Flórez, José Cura, Ian Bostridge, Marco Berti, Salvatore Licitra, Vittorio Grigolo and Francesco Meli; sopranos like Nina Stemme, Diana Damrau, Anja Harteros, Violeta Urmana, Adrianne Pieczonka, Maria Guleghina, Micaela Carosi, Martina Serafin, Lise Lindstrom, Aleksandra Kurzak, Nino Machaidze, Anne Schwanewilms and Kristine Opolais; mezzo-sopranos like Waltraud Meier, Joyce Di Donato, Luciana D’Intino, Daniela Barcellona, Marianne Cornetti, Ekaterina Gubanova, Angelika Kirschlager; baritones like Bryn Terfel, Leo Nucci, Zeliko Lucic, Thomas Hampson, Ambrogio Maestri, Matthias Goerne, Alex Esposito and Georg Nigl; basses like René Pape, Ferruccio Furlanetto, Günther Groissböck, Marco Spotti and Kwanchul  Youn.

The programme includes no fewer than ten new La Scala opera and ballet productions.

Scheduled for September 2011 is an exciting exchange with the Wiener Staatsoper, who bring their production of Strauss’ Arabella and a symphonic concert to Milan while La Scala tours Simon Boccanegra in Vienna, with Plácido Domingo in the title role, and Verdi’s Requiem.

Against this rich artistic and international backdrop, the theatre is set to spotlight the continuing musical work of leading conductors such as Daniel Barenboim,  Daniele Gatti, Daniel Harding, Omer Meir Wellber, Edward Gardner, Valery Gergiev, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Nicola Luisotti,  Rinaldo Alessandrini, Philippe Jordan, Roberto Abbado, Gustavo Dudamel and Yuri Temirkanov. It also reaffirms its commitment to the Orchestra, the Chorus and the Teatro alla Scala artists.
