La Scala Superintendent Dominique
Meyer said the premiere of Verdi's Forza del Destino Saturday, a
work whose anti-war message is unmistakeable, would send an
invitation for world peace.
"With all our strength we would like a return to peace", he said
ahead of the opening night, the high point of the Milanese
social year.
"There are a crazy number of wars in the world and every time
peace is found it is a victory for humanity. "But at the moment
we cannot be very optimistic".
Protesters against the war in Gaza dumped manure on the red
carpet and set up inside it photos of Italian government
ministers and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
