Singer

The world premiere of Giacomo Puccini's final masterpiece took place at La Scala on April 25, 1926. The composer had died in Brussels on November 29, 1924, without being able to complete the score. Arturo Toscanini had asked Franco Alfano to prepare a finale, which remained problematic. On the night of the premiere, Toscanini placed his baton on the last note composed by Puccini, upon Liù's death: a gesture that has remained in the history of La Scala and is also remembered in the production conceived by Davide Livermore for Puccini's centenary. A rich production, combining technological marvels and artisanal expertise, revived under the baton of Nicola Luisotti.

Turandot

The action unfolds in Imperial Rome, during the reign of Tiberius. The general Publio returns victorious from his campaign against the Sarmatians. Everyone assumes that his triumph will culminate in a marriage to Argelia, the daughter of the powerful senator Murena. Yet Murena is tormented by the thought of Settimio—the tribune of the people he betrayed and sent into exile, and whom Argelia once loved. Because of this, she keeps her distance from him and harbors deep resentment.
