Performer: Romano Dal Zovo

Faithful to the libretto’s dramaturgy, the staging unfolds in scenographic environments of strong impact -

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.
