"We cannot hide the fact that this Prima della Scala will also be very important for President
Mattarella,
who knows if it will be his last as president. Tonight I imagine a great tribute to our beloved president".
Thus the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, spoke of the Prima della Scala tonight where Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth will be staged,
on the sidelines of the ceremony for the delivery of the Ambrogini d'oro, the highest honor of the Municipality of Milan.
According to Sala, culture "must play an important role in the regeneration of society".
In the past, the La Scala audience has paid tributes to the Head of State, greeted before Attila's start in 2018 with over five long minutes of applause and in 2019 with a standing ovation.
Meanwhile, the final preparations are underway in the theater where
the floral decorations signed by Armani
have already been set up
:
over
10 thousand roses and three thousand orchids
that adorn not only the central stage, but also the boxes, a tradition that was interrupted in 2007.
