The Milan Pass
THE MOST EAGERLYAWAITED PREMIÈRE
The opening of the opera and ballet
season at Teatro alla Scala is more than
a simple ‘première’, it is Italy’s most important
cultural and perhaps even social event of the
season. This year’s protagonist is ‘Joan of Arc’,
the monumental work by Giuseppe Verdi which
returns to Milan’s Opera House following a hiatus
of 150 years. Conducted by Riccardo Chailly and
directed by Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier,
this operatic rendition of her story includes
performances by soprano Anna Netrebko and
tenor Francesco Meli. 7 (Première), 10, 13, 15, 18,
22, 23 December, 2 January. Teatro alla Scala.

phenomenon that captivated Broadway audiences! Set in
New York city at the turn of the century, the Italian version of
Newsies, directed by Federico Bellone, tells the real life story of
Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band
of teenaged ‘newsies,’ who dreams only of a better life far from
the hardship of the streets. Barclays Teatro Nazionale, Via
