Stéphane Lissner: It's All About The Benjis, Yo

La Scala announced today their financial data for the year 2006, and are happy to report a big fat plus: last year under new General manager Stéphane Lissner la Scala has turned in a heartening + 1.47 million euros profit.

Private sponsors and box office receipts constitute the 57.2% of the budget (42.8% is painfully shelled out by the Government).

Box office receipts (ah, those insanely expensive tkts) and corporate sponsorships have made la Scala a sweet 48.4 million euros (it was just 39.4 in 2005).

In simpler words:

"AAAAA++++ would do $ again!"
