First Night on Rai Uno
On 7 December 1976 the cameras of the Italian broadcaster RAI brought Italians into the First Night at La Scala for the first time: on stage was Verdi’s Otello conducted by Carlos Kleiber and directed by Franco Zeffirelli, with the voices of Plácido Domingo and Mirella Freni. Since then, RAI and Teatro alla Scala have collaborated to raise Italians’ awareness of the extraordinary heritage of melodrama. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of this collaboration, the First Night returns live on Rai Uno. As every year, RAI will also curate the live broadcasts at San Vittore Prison, in several Italian theatres and in cinemas all around the world.
