I Puritani Returns to La Scala After More Than Five Decades

The 2027 production represents a significant moment in Teatro alla Scala's season. Despite its importance in the Italian operatic tradition, I puritani has been absent from the Milanese stage for more than half a century.

First performed in Paris in January 1835, the opera was Bellini's final completed work. Its exceptionally demanding vocal writing, originally created for singers including Giovanni Battista Rubini and Giulia Grisi, has contributed to its relatively infrequent appearances compared with other major bel canto titles.

The score is celebrated for its long melodic lines, expressive vocal passages and extraordinary technical challenges. Among its most recognisable moments are Arturo's aria "A te, o cara" and Elvira's celebrated mad scene, featuring "Qui la voce sua soave."

The return of I puritani to La Scala offers opera enthusiasts an opportunity to hear this repertoire in a theatre closely associated with the Italian vocal tradition.

A New Production Directed by Davide Livermore

Fabio Luisi conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro alla Scala, bringing his extensive experience with Italian opera to Bellini's three-act masterpiece.

Stage director Davide Livermore leads the new production, with sets designed by Eleonora Peronetti, Paolo Gep Cucco and Livermore himself. Gianluca Falaschi is responsible for costumes, Antonio Castro for lighting and D-WOK for video design.

The opera, with a libretto by Carlo Pepoli, takes place during the English Civil War. At its centre is the relationship between Elvira and Arturo, a Royalist whose political loyalties place him in conflict with the Puritan world surrounding her.

When Arturo helps a royal prisoner escape, the consequences threaten his relationship with Elvira and trigger a psychological crisis. Love, jealousy, political allegiance and emotional instability intertwine throughout the drama.

Bellini's music gives particular prominence to the inner lives of the characters, making the principal vocal performances central to the experience.

Cast for I Puritani at Teatro alla Scala 2027

The production features tenor Galeano Salas as Arturo on most performance dates, with Valerio Borgioni taking the role on 17 June.

Romanian soprano Adela Zaharia returns to La Scala as Elvira, appearing on 15, 19, 21, 25 and 29 June. Gilda Fiume performs the role on 17 and 23 June and 1 July.

The cast also includes Giorgi Manoshvili as Giorgio, Mattia Olivieri as Riccardo, Vittorio De Campo as Gualtiero Valton, Paolo Antognetti as Bruno and Marta Pluda as Enrichetta.

These principal roles require exceptional vocal control, particularly in the demanding tenor and soprano passages that have made I puritani a benchmark for bel canto singers.

Visitors planning to attend for a particular performer should check the scheduled cast for their chosen date, as the principal roles alternate between performances.

Performance Dates and Teatro alla Scala

I puritani opens on 15 June 2027 and continues with performances on 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 and 29 June, concluding on 1 July 2027. All eight performances are scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM.

Situated in the historic centre of Milan, close to the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Teatro alla Scala is one of the world's leading opera houses. Its horseshoe-shaped auditorium, traditional boxes and long operatic history make it a distinctive setting for this revival.

The new staging forms part of La Scala's 2026/2027 opera season and provides an opportunity to discover Bellini's work in a production created specifically for the Milanese theatre.
