La Scala in città: 22 spettacoli gratuiti in tutti i municipi di Milano
La Scala in città is back, offering 22 complimentary performances at 18 different venues throughout Milan until October 1. This year's lineup showcases artists from the Filarmonica della Scala, the Chorus, the Corps de Ballet, and students from the Accademia. A highlight of this edition is the introduction of children's shows by Mario Acampa, who co-hosted the 2022 Eurovision, along with Voci bianche and soloists from the Accademia di Canto. The inaugural performance, titled "Cantami una cartolina," will take place on Tuesday at Teatro Bruno Munari. Superintendent Dominique Meyer aims to engage new audiences, particularly children. This event, part of the "Milano è viva" initiative, will conclude with a music and dance marathon at Teatro alla Scala on September 30 and October 1.
