Callas again opens La Scala’s season!

Callas again opens La Scala’s season!

Back in 1993, Callas’s recording of the aria ‘La mamma morta’ heightened the impact of the Tom Hanks film Philadelphia. Now it has been chosen by La Scala, Milan to promote the live TV broadcast of the theatre’s new production of Andrea Chénier, which opens its 2017-18 season on December 6th. One of Callas’ complete 1955 performances of the opera at La Scala features in the Warner Classics box set Maria Callas: Live.
