Igor Levit live in Milan

Experience Igor Levit live on February 28th

Igor Levit will perform at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on February 28, 2027. Levit is a German-Russian pianist renowned for his intellectually rigorous and emotionally profound interpretations of classical repertoire. His performances are characterized by a deep engagement with the philosophical and historical context of the music, often extending beyond purely technical brilliance to explore broader humanistic themes. He frequently programs works in unconventional sequences, aiming to create narrative arcs and challenge traditional concert formats. His discography includes complete cycles of Beethoven’s piano sonatas and Bach’s Goldberg Variations, alongside recordings of works by composers such as Liszt, Debussy, and Rzewski.

Teatro alla Scala, inaugurated in 1778, is one of the world's leading opera houses and a symbol of Italian musical culture. Originally built on the site of a former church demolished by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, it quickly became a focal point for Milanese society. Throughout its history, La 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 character.
