Elsa Dreisig will perform at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on November 15, 2026. Dreisig is a contemporary classical composer known for her works that frequently blend orchestral textures with electronic soundscapes and extended vocal techniques. Her compositions often explore themes of memory, nature, and the human condition, exhibiting a minimalist aesthetic alongside moments of dramatic intensity. She frequently collaborates with visual artists, integrating multimedia elements into her performances.

The Teatro alla Scala, inaugurated in 1778, is one of the world’s leading opera houses and a symbol of Italian cultural heritage. Originally built on the site of a former church destroyed by Maria Theresa of Austria, it has hosted premieres by composers including Rossini, Verdi, Puccini and many others. Renowned for its acoustics and opulent interior – featuring a horseshoe-shaped auditorium adorned with red velvet and gold – La Scala has undergone several renovations throughout its history, most recently a significant restoration completed in 2004. The theatre maintains a strong tradition of demanding artistic standards and a discerning audience; performances are frequently broadcast internationally and represent significant events in the operatic calendar. Its archives hold an extensive collection of historical scores, costumes and set designs.
