Cherubini's Ali Baba finally returns to La Scala in an Academy staging

Visually enchanting and meticulously staged, this centenary revival confirms Livermore's production as a modern classic. 

Shostakovich's brutal tale of sex, murder and madness storms La Scala's opening night, with Riccardo Chailly leading his final season premiere as Music Director. 

Alexander Soddy leads a great cast in a clever, supremely entertaining new production in Milan.

Julie Fuchs and Juan Diego Flórez give life to the refreshing and funny take of Laurent Pelly’s classic production, under the baton of Evelino Pidò. 

A Rigoletto revival in Milan is elevated by a stellar vocal performance from Amartuvshin Enkhbat, despite a finale that divides opinion and some uneven orchestral pacing.
