Bruckner's Ninth Symphony – November 2026

The nearest of these concerts brings Chailly to the podium of the Filarmonica della Scala for Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, on Monday, November 16; Tuesday, November 17; and Friday, November 20, 2026, all at 8:00 PM.

Bruckner's Ninth Symphony occupies a distinctive place in the late-Romantic orchestral repertoire. Dedicated to God, the composition remained unfinished at the composer's death in 1896 and has traditionally been performed in its three-movement form, ending with the monumental Adagio.

For these Milan concerts, Chailly presents a version incorporating a reconstructed fourth movement, based on surviving musical material. The reconstruction is credited to Nicola Samale, John A. Phillips, Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs and Giuseppe Mazzuca, with a subsequent revision by Phillips.

This approach gives audiences an opportunity to hear the symphony in an expanded form, exploring the musical architecture that Bruckner had envisaged for his final orchestral work.

The Filarmonica della Scala, founded in 1982 by Claudio Abbado and the musicians of Teatro alla Scala, provides the orchestral forces for these performances.

Shostakovich and Dvořák – January 18, 2027

On Monday, January 18, 2027 at 8:00 PM, Chailly conducts the Filarmonica della Scala with cellist Gautier Capuçon: Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 2 and Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, From the New World.

This date is a benefit concert for the Fondazione De Marchi. It is the only programme of the three that pairs a concerto soloist with a symphony, and the only single-date programme in the series.

Bach's St John Passion – March 2027

Chailly returns in spring for Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion, BWV 245, with the Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro alla Scala, on Tuesday, March 23; Wednesday, March 24; and Friday, March 26, 2027, all at 8:00 PM.

First performed in Leipzig in 1724, Bach's Johannes-Passion is one of the defining sacred works of the Baroque era. Based on the Gospel of John, it recounts the arrest, trial, crucifixion and burial of Jesus through a combination of biblical narration, expressive arias, chorales and dramatic choral passages.

The cast brings together Mark Padmore as the Evangelist and Peter Harvey as Jesus, with Grace Davidson, Anke Vondung, Manuel Günther and Peter Mattei. The Teatro alla Scala Chorus is prepared by chorus master Alberto Malazzi.

Unlike the purely orchestral Bruckner and January concerts, these March performances put Chailly's work with vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra at the centre.

Riccardo Chailly and Teatro alla Scala

Riccardo Chailly has enjoyed a long artistic relationship with Milan and Teatro alla Scala, where he served as Music Director from 2015 to 2026.

This season opened with two concerts that have already taken place: a Sibelius and Prokofiev programme in October 2026, and Verdi's Messa da Requiem on October 30, 2026, with Anna Netrebko, Caterina Piva, Antonio Poli and Michele Pertusi.

Born in Milan, he has established an international conducting career through collaborations with leading European orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig.

His recorded repertoire includes significant interpretations of the symphonies of Bruckner, Mahler and Beethoven, alongside opera and works by Italian composers.

The three programmes that remain reflect different sides of that repertoire: a large-scale late-Romantic symphony, a concerto pairing, and a Baroque Passion.

Classical Music at Teatro alla Scala in Milan
