The final opera by Puccini, staged posthumously and without a finale in a world premiere at La Scala, returns in this version completed by Luciano Berio on 1 May 2015. This performance, marking the opening of EXPO 2015, is directed by Nikolaus Lehnhoff and conducted by the theatre's new music director Riccardo Chailly. Alexander Tsyambalyuk, who is portraying Timur, is joined by a fantastic cast including Nina Stemme in the title role, Maria Agresta (Liù ) and Aleksandrs Antonenko (Calaf).
