The balance sheet of yesterday’s Prima della Scala with Macbeth is 12 minutes of applause, 2 million 64 thousand spectators on Rai 1 and 2 million 330 thousand euros in takings. The figures are lower than in 2019 when Tosca – a much more famous work – had been seen by over 2 million 800 thousand people and had a record collection of over 2 and a half million.
However, this is a positive balance, especially considering that it comes after a dark year due to covid and that it is based on partial data. They do not take into account the streaming on Raiplay, where it will remain visible for 15 days, and the one on Medicitv which makes the show available on demand in over thirty foreign countries. Without counting the spectators at the cinema (as well as in Italy in Spain, Finland, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Ireland and, on a delayed basis, in China, Korea and Australia), those of the first broadcast in the points of Milan where it was broadcast – from the Carcano theater to the Beccaria juvenile prison, from the Jannacci shelter in San Vittore – and on the radio in Italy and abroad.
Macbeth also liked on social media. The hashtags #primadellascala and #macbeth were in second and third place on twitter trendtopics yesterday. In the last week the page of the Teatro alla Scala reached 1,100,000 people with a peak of 695,000 people on yesterday evening. The live broadcast of the National Anthem was followed live by almost 1,000 people and the video reached 107,600. And only tomorrow we will know the Instagram and TikTok data, where the Scala has recently landed.
However, all the problems of these almost two years with the pandemic are not entirely behind us. The checks on the green pass, the obligation to wear a mask and the cancellation of the gala dinner proved this. However, the singers met with the superintendent and a few others for a dinner at Palazzo Bovara, to ease the tension after the long rehearsals that began on 25 October.
And this is also demonstrated by the alert for some infections in the cast of the ballet La bayadère. Only between tomorrow and Friday will we know if the ballet will be staged or will have to be postponed.
But we are already thinking about next December 7th. Meyer has not announced the title, but there are those who speak of Puccini’s Bohème, a well-known work, but a courageous choice for La Scala, where the production signed by Franco Zeffirelli in 1963 continues to be resumed. direction this time will not be by Davide Livermore, after the record of four consecutive Prime.
