LA SCALA: THE FORCE OF DESTINY

Making an opera masterpiece 

Legendary opera house, La Scala is more than just a stage— it’s a dream factory. And this year, over 4 intensive months, 900 people will work relentlessly to incarnate Verdi’s opera masterpiece, ‘‘ The Force of Destiny ‘‘. Under the masterful eyes of director Léo Muscato, we will follow Federica Parolini, the set designer, as her sketches evolve into towering architectural marvels crafted by dedicated artisans. In the costume workshop, Silvia Peroni and her team weave magic with fabric and thread through their expert hands. Then, a stellar international cast of virtuosos arrives in Milan, ready to fill La Scala’s hallowed halls with their soaring voices. But nothing is guaranteed. With the clock ticking, and expectations going through the roof, tensions unfold like an opera of its own. As Milan holds its breath for the legendary Prima, the 7th of December, the stakes could not be higher. Will they be ready for curtain rise? This is not just about an opera — it’s about the hands that shape a dream, and the magic revealed when music, artistry, and humans collide and give birth to perfection.
