La Scala's dance company and the orchestra stand on stage before the final performance of the opera-ballet"Madina" beneath a banner reading:"Ceasefire" in Milan, Italy, Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Albano, “Madina” composer Fabio Vacchi and conductor Michele Gamba were also among the dozens of La Scala performers and staff who stood beneath the banner. It was the famed Milan theater's first comment on the war in Gaza, but not the first time it has waded into the politics of war. La Scala music director Riccardo Chailly held a concert for peace in Ukraine in April 2022, with proceeds going to help the population hit by the war. The theater joined others in dropping Russian conductorfrom its program because of his failure to distance himself from the invasion. Ukrainians later protested La Scala's staging of the Russian operaCopyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
