In Milan, you have a date with legend. The Lombardy city boasts an exceptional architectural and artistic heritage. Art nouveau enthusiasts will love the famous Liberty-style houses on via Malpighi, or the magnificent staircase of Casa Guazzoni. Right next to the Duomo, the Poldi-Pezzoli Museum is packed with masterpieces by Raphael, Botticelli and Piero Della Francesca. The equally sumptuous Casa Bagatti Valsecchi is an aesthete’s dream, with its extraordinary collections and decorations inspired by the Italian Renaissance.

 

And then there’s the privilege of going to La Scala. The Milanese theater is certainly the most famous opera house in the world, not only because of its magnificence, but also because of its history and the artists who perform there. During this exceptional recital, you’ll have the chance to hear two of the world’s greatest singers (Anna Netrebko and Jonas Kaufmann) in a unique anniversary concert, celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Giacomo Puccini’s death. The Italian giant died a century ago to the day, leaving the world a universal work, most of which was created at the Teatro della Scala.

On November 29, 1924, Giacomo Puccini died in Brussels of cancer. Two years later, however, the Italian genius was to create a sensation once again with the premiere of his unfinished opera Turandot (the last scene is missing), conducted by Toscanini. Puccini’s relationship with the Teatro della Scala is a passionate one: the Milanese opera house has hosted both his early works (Le Villi, Edgar) and his most famous masterpieces (Madame Butterfly, Turandot). If ever a city had to honor its great man, it was the Lombardy capital that had to celebrate him in its opera house. La Scala’s Puccini gala is nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, it features the La Scala Chorus and Orchestra, led by its admirable musical director, Riccardo Chailly, as well as two of today’s leading opera stars. The program presents a wide range of Puccini’s music: from the youthful Le Villi to the rare Crisantemi, before Jonas Kaufmann and Anna Netrebko set the stage ablaze in the shattering final act of Manon Lescaut.
