Ten years ago, Riccardo Muti went to bombed-out Sarajevo with the Scala orchestra to conduct Beethoven's Eroica in the city that had just clawed its way out of a horrible war; the other night, a decade after that concert, Muti came back.
This time, with the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino orchestra, and the same program, to pay hommage to the reconstruction and remember those who lost their lives in the siege.
Corriere della Sera's feature carries a headline that Opera Chic liked:
Muti Returns To Sarajevo: "Honor To These Heroes"
