A blessing and a challenge in the programming of every major opera house, "La traviata" holds a special place in La Scala’s history, marked by the legendary 1953 production conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini, directed by Luchino Visconti, and starring Maria Callas. That iconic interpretation seemed untouchable until 1990, when Riccardo Muti commissioned a new, lavish production from director Liliana Cavani, with sets by Dante Ferretti and costumes by Gabriella Pescucci, featuring an all-young cast. This evocative and poetic staging returns to the stage in 2026, conducted by Michele Gamba, who in recent years has led major productions at La Scala including "Rigoletto," "Médée," "Turandot," and "Tosca." The cast is unmissable: alongside the charismatic Nadine Sierra in the title role, Piero Pretti and Iván Ayón Rivas alternate as Alfredo, with Boris Pinkhasovich and Amartuvshin Enkhbat as Giorgio Germont.
From September 22 to 25, 2026, Daniele Rustioni will conduct the Scala Orchestra and Chorus in a concert of striking contrasts.

An electrifying evening that focuses on the drama and innovative power of Romantic music.
