Teatro alla Scala
Overview
Intro
Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala | Chorus of the Teatro alla Scala | Riccardo Chailly | Verdi | Rossini
As the summer of endless possibilities draws to a close, let our thoughts fly free — with the most beautiful opera choruses by Giuseppe Verdi and Gioachino Rossini. Riccardo Chailly and the ensembles of La Scala, Milan, are unsurpassed in their ability to ignite the spark of Italianità and let brio flare up. Alongside well-known overtures and choruses from La traviata and Otello, for example, we can also look forward to excerpts from such rarely performed works as I due Foscari and La battaglia di Legnano, an eminently political piece. It was written in 1848-49, in the context of the Risorgimento, the Italian unification movement: “Viva Italia!” sings a chorus in this opera. And a few years later, Verdi’s dream of a unified country was to become a reality with the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. Switzerland’s glorious history is not overlooked either. Two numbers from Rossini’s Guglielmo Tell — including, of course, the rousing Overture — will conclude this afternoon of grand emotions. That is, at least, the official program. Because if we clap hard enough, perhaps there will be more catchy tunes from the motherland of music that will stick in our heads as earworms.
