Chailly: Alagna Sunk My Manon Lescaut
Riccardo Chailly today took part in a press event to plug the release of his forthcoming Aida DVD, a recording of the unfortunate Scala production of last December.
Chailly explained that his next opera in Milan should have been Manon Lescaut with, um, Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu.
"The Manon project was linked to Alagna and Gheorghiu's casting, so (General Manager Stéphane) Lissner and I chose another work, Il Trittico. An opera that hasn't been staged here at la Scala in the last 25 years", Chailly said.
