Daniel
Barenboim debuts as chief conductor and opens the La Scala 2007/2008 season with
a new production of Tristan and Isolde. It will be directed by the controversial
Patrice Chéreau, who is perhaps best known for his 1976 Ring at
Bayreuth, which was greeted as a scandal and later became a
rousing success. This truly will be the
production that the world-wide opera community will be talking about
for years to come.
