La Scala on Thursday launches a global TV and on-demand channel where opera lovers can enjoy live performances from the iconic Milanese cultural mecca. LaScala.tv is a new platform where you can watch performances from La Scala in Milan live while they are being performed or on demand from a catalogue of special contents, operas, ballets and concerts from the more or less recent past.
The first opera to be streamed will be on 14 February, Valentine’s Day, Verdi’s French-language masterpiece Vespri Siciliani (Sicilian Vespers) conducted by Fabio Lusi. But already from Thursday it is possible to access the platform and rent some performances on demand.
