La Scala : Manuel Legris and Dominique Meyer – the Frenchmen are not welcome to remain at La Scala (Article by Graham Spicer)
“I’m happy to present this season, which will be the last one for me.” Manuel Legris, the director of La Scala’s corps de ballet, maybe was not as ‘happy‘ as his words suggest. “Surprisingly I haven’t heard anything about my contract, which ends in November 2025. I have made a personal decision – this will be my last season at La Scala as it will be also for Dominique. I am very happy with the work done here with the dancers.”
Dominique Meyer’s contract runs out at the end of February, but Italy’s far-right-led government limited him to one term as it seeks to restore the leadership of landmark cultural institutions to Italians. The theatre’s general manager, Meyer, and Legris have worked together for 15 years, previously in Vienna.
