Salieri - L'Europa riconosciuta (DVD) | Diana Damrau, Riccardo Muti, Luca Ronconi, Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, Chor der Mailander Scala

In 1778 Antonio Salieri’s Europa riconosciuta became the first work to be performed at the Milanese theatre later known as the Teatro alla Scala. Despite this honour, Europa riconosciuta (Europa recognised) remained unperformed for 226 years until 2004, when Riccardo Muti, then Music Director of La Scala, chose it to reopen the legendary theatre after three years of renovation work.
