Opera Now  |  December 2014
La Scala’s new music director Riccardo Chailly tells Opera Now how he plans to steer Italy’s flagship opera company through the troubled waters of the nation’s cultural crisis; the story of Casa Ricordi – one of the world’s most important publishing brands – from its beginnings in a tiny engraving shop to the company’s new series of interactive opera arias; and as the debate continues over the value of opera screenings in cinemas, we invite a selection of young opera professionals to share their thoughts on how relays are changing their experience of opera as performers and producers. Plus, how a new residency programme launched by Florentine Opera and the Solti Foundation-US is training a new generation of orchestral conductors in the very particular demands of opera-conducting; the opera bluff guide to Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel; Landestheater Linz; opera landmarks in Italy; and your chance to win Matthias Goerne’s Schubert Edition on 9 CDs and San Francisco Opera’s new Porgy and Bess DVD.
