La Scala to perform in Milan airport

This may be a new kind of meet-and-greet service, we’re not sure.

Alexander Pereira, the Scala boss, announced at the reopening of the renovated airport that he is planning a performance there in September. Live on TV. He won’t say which opera, or parts of opera. (UPDATE: Austrian newspapers predict L’Elisir d’amore).

Perhaps we can offer some suggestions? The Magic Flight? Fidelayo? Orfeo ed Queueridico?

And could we translate Malpensa as ‘bad idea’?

    Or just Flight?

    Given the ‘efficiency’ of Italian airport services and the punctuality record of their airline, a Ring cycle in one day (and night!) might be appropriate.

    What a security nightmare that will be.

    “Repeated performances of Erwartung” Hahahahaaa! 😀
