Teatro alla Scala workers (all 800+ of them -- yes, more than eight hundred, this is not a typo) will go on strike next Friday, November 9: the already-sold-out performance of Verdi's Requiem conducted by Daniel Barenboim is no more.
The big season opening, la Prima, is scheduled as always on December 7 (Tristan Und Isolde, conducted by Daniel Barenboim staged by Patric Chereau).
