La Scala's troubles with Covid are not over yet. (HANDLE)


(ANSA) - MILAN, MAY 23 - The problems of La Scala with Covid are not over yet.

After the last 7 December the theater had to cancel the Lucia di Lammermoord during the inauguration due to an outbreak of Coronavirus in the choir, now - a few days before the presentation of the new season - it is forced to suspend the representation of the Italian in Algiers on 25 May because a cast member tested positive.


    The show, initially conceived only for streaming, was then opened to the under 30s after the easing of anti-contagion measures.


    At this point, the artistic direction is verifying the possibility of finding an alternative date in which to stage Rossini's work in the historical staging of Ponnellecirected by Ottavio Dantone. Those who bought the ticket can ask for a refund.


    This Italian (which will also be on the bill in autumn) marked the return of the public to the theater for an opera last autumn when Traviata and Aida were staged in concert form. In this case, however, the presence of the spectators (all under 30) was foreseen only in the boxes and on the steps, with the orchestra placed on a platform built above the stalls. (HANDLE).
