The long, superboring saga of the strikes at la Scala is ovah -- to recap, unions canceled three shows, two Verdi Requiems for Toscanini, one of them in Parma the other at La Scala, under the baton of Daniel Barenboim, and one Così Fan Tutte (that sucked so bad their strike can only be seen as merciful for the audience).
Today, an emergency meeting at the Ministry For Culture in Rome has signaled that the unions will get their new contract, and Tristan Und Isolde planned for Dec. 7 will go ahead.
Now, if you have $3,000.00 dollars to buy your platea ticket from the bloodthirsty scalpers -- the ticket got magically sold out in, like, 30 seconds in pure Scala fashion -- you're in!
