An arresting return for Medea
OperaThis is an early production photo of Cherubuini’s Médée (Medea) at La Scala, an opera with a chequered local history.
Its last appearance in Milan was the farewell appearance of Maria Callas, in a bad Italian translation with many cuts.
Tonight, they are playing the complete French version, conducted by Michele Gamba in a staging by Damiano Michieletto. Marina Rebeka stars as Médée.
The frisson is considerable.
