On the occasion of Christmas 2025, from the Paul VI Hall in Vatican City, Maestro Riccardo Muti conducts the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, accompanied by the Guido Chigi Saracini Choir of Siena Cathedral.

Based on a true story, the "Dialogues des Carmelites" sets the life of the Carmelites nuns at the dawn of the French Revolution. “Robert Carsen's production is effective in its simplicity, allowing the drama to speak for itself. Dagmar Schellenberger compellingly conveys Blanche's journey from distress to acceptance… Anja Silja's portrayal of the old Prioress is outstanding, with its disturbing transformation from serene wisdom to terrified, blasphemous, near-madness as death approaches. ...Riccardo Muti and the La Scala orchestra in magnificent form, captured in magnificent sound. Ultimately, it is the final scene, with its multiple executions, that makes or breaks a production of Dialogues. Carsen's allegorical solution is both elegant and deeply moving.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2007

Riccardo Muti guides the audience through Giuseppe Verdi’s sacred composition, accompanied by the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, where the audience will have the opportunity to immerse themselves fully in this great music and experience first-hand all the preparatory stages of the concert, right up to the final performance of the work.
