Rai5 to Broadcast Teatro Alla Scala’s Puccini Concert with Anna Netrebko & Jonas Kaufmann
By Francisco SalazarRai5 is set to broadcast the Teatro alla Scala’s Puccini concert on Dec. 5.
The concert, which was recorded on Nov. 29, will be shown at 7:15 p.m. and will include Jonas Kaufmann, Anna Netrebko, Mariangela Sicilia, and Luciano Ganci accompanied by pianist James Vaughan. The evening saw the soloists perform arias and duets from “Gianni Schicchi,” “Le Villi,” “Edgar,” “La Boheme,” “Manon Lescaut,” “Turandot” and “Tosca.”
The concert was dedicated to Giacomo Puccini, on the centenary of his death.
Originally scheduled to be conducted by Riccardo Chailly and feature the Teatoro alla Scala orchestra, the concert was altered due to a national strike and the theater improvised a new concert.
