As every year on 7 December - St Ambrosius' Day, patron saint of Milan - the prestigious La Scala Theatre opens its new season. This year, after a three-year closure period, the building, renovated by the Swiss architect Mario Botta, gives rise to considerable discussion. 

Listen to the Euroradio transmission, live from La Scala, on your cultural radio stations. On the programme, L'Europa riconosciuta (Europe reconstructed...) by Mozart's famous rival, Antonio Salieri.
