Verdi: Attila
First staged at the Teatro La Fenice in 1846, Verdiās ninth opera, Attila, returns to the stage of La Scala on December 7th. Following the inauguration of the 2015-2016 Season with Giovanna dāArco and in anticipation of Macbeth, with Attila Musical Director Riccardo Chailly continues his study of Verdiās early works, renewing a successful collaboration with creative director Davide Livermore that began with his acclaimed production of Donizettiās Don Pasquale for La Scala. In this complex opera Verdi experiments with fresh perspectives, featuring spectacular historical settings, introspective angles and moral uncertainties. Attila demands of its performers not only passion and confidence, but also the ability to find subtle accents and psychological nuances.
