(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 10 - Ukraine's consul in Milan on
Thursday asked La Scala not to open its season this year with
the Russian opera Boris Godunov to avert possible propaganda
uses of the Mussorgsky classic.
Consul Adrii Kartysh has written to the superintendent of La
Scala Dominique Meyer, to the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala and
to the governor of Lombardy Attilio Fontana to ask to "review"
the theater's programming, not inaugurating the season on
December 7 with Boris Godunov, and also avoiding other Russian
shows so as not to pander to "any propaganda elements", the
consult said in a statement.
