The big season opener at La Scala offers few surprises in a traditional staging, although Yusif Eyvazov proved his worth in the title role. 

A beautiful production by Alvis Hermanis of Madama Butterfly to open La Scala's new season, but it was Riccardo Chailly's presentation of Puccini's original 1904 score which caught the ear. 

La Scala might not have had all the right cards in its garter Tuesday night to prevent ending up holding aces and spaces, but it’s hard to play without a full deck in the first place.

Un propuesta clásica de Il trovatore en la que los auténticos protagonistas fueron los cantantes entre los que destacaron Angela Meade y Agnieszka Rehlis con una actuación ejemplar.
