For all opera lovers, attending a performance at Milan's Teatro alla Scala is a dream come true. With this package, M&O allows you to enter the legend with two performances by the greatest.
Two great conductors come together at La Scala with Esa-Pekka Salonen and Christian Thielemann. The Finn is simply ideal in a repertoire he knows well, with Sibelius and Bartók on the program of a magnificent symphonic concert. The following day, Thielemann, the great German conductor, leads David McVicar's production of Das Rheingold, the first episode in Wagner's famous Tetralogy, with a cast worthy of Europe's leading opera house.
The stay is enhanced by a visit on a theme of your choice (the Navigli canals in the center of the city, the Brera district and its famous art gallery, or Milan, the contemporary city with its new skyline). The choice is yours...
