After Riccardo Chailly opens the season with Tosca, continuing the cycle of works by Puccini, he will conduct his first Strauss opera, as well as the complete Beethoven symphonies. Zubin Mehta will conduct two Verdi operas as well as Luigi Nonno’s Intolleranza which will be performed at La Scala for the first time. Handel’s Semele will also receive its first staged performance at the theatre. There are fifteen operas in the 2019-2020 season, of which eleven are new productions.

Anna Netrebko will open the season in Tosca on 7 December, but strangely the tenor has not yet been confirmed. Backstage voices say that the Russian diva is pressing for her husband, Yusif Eyvazov, to be given the role.

After the popularity over the last couple of years, the opening of the season will again be transmitted live on Italy’s main television channel, Rai1.

The recital series, listed below, features Matthias Goerne, Erwin Schrott, Aleksandra Kurzak, Ekaterina Semenchuk, Bejun Mehta, Marina Rebeka, and Sabine Devieilhe.
