This is the concert day in la Scala. I have been to many Italian theaters but this one is obviously special, and I can feel everyone is excited!
So many performances have been photographed here by photographers who know the house well. I have a feeling all possibilities have been exhausted. But I don’t give up, I leave the hotel earlier than usual and start scouting. With the help of Alejandro who knows every corner of Scala, I discover the bird’s eye view, a little chamber above the ceiling’s central chandelier. A challenging location, hot and cramped with lighting equipment and wires, just my sort of place!
Now I can get on with the playing, and documenting the backstage life, as usual!
The morning rehearsal, finally on stage
Under the roof, on the way to the bird’s nest!
First concert of the tour
