Prima della Scala, Milan
Opening night at La Scala, in Milan's most dressed-up evening of the year.
Every year on December 7, the feast of Sant'Ambrogio, Milan's patron saint, Teatro alla Scala opens its new season. In 2026 the evening belongs to Verdi's Otello, conducted by Myung-Whun Chung in his debut as the theatre's music director and staged by Damiano Michieletto. It is one of the great fixtures of the European social calendar.
