Igor Levit live in Milan

Experience Igor Levit live on November 21st

Igor Levit will perform at Teatro alla Scala in Milan on November 21, 2026. Levit is a German-Russian pianist renowned for his intellectually rigorous and deeply personal interpretations of classical repertoire. His style is characterized by a focus on structural clarity, often revealing the contrapuntal and harmonic intricacies within compositions, alongside a powerfully expressive and emotionally resonant performance quality. He frequently programs works alongside philosophical and literary contexts, offering audiences a holistic artistic experience. Levit has gained recognition for complete cycles of Beethoven’s piano sonatas and Bach’s Goldberg Variations, as well as championing contemporary composers.

Teatro alla Scala, opened in 1778, is one of the world’s leading opera houses and a symbol of Italian cultural prestige. Commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and designed by Giuseppe Piermarini, it initially hosted performances dedicated to celebrating the Habsburg monarchy. Throughout its history, Scala has premiered numerous significant operas by composers including Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti and Puccini. The theatre underwent extensive renovations between 2001 and 2004 to improve acoustics and modernize facilities while preserving its historical architecture.
