The increase in coronavirus infections in Milan forces La Scala to review its 2020/21 season, which would normally start in 7 December. « In consideration of the evolution of the epidemic in recent days in Italy and Europe as well as the consequent uncertainty of the regulatory framework, the Teatro alla Scala postpones the press conference to present the calendar from December 2020 to March 2021, scheduled for today », the press office announced. The performances scheduled up to and including Monday 19 October remain confirmed. « The Teatro alla Scala follows the evolution of the situation and will communicate with respect to subsequent performances as soon as the regulatory framework is clarified ».
