Open rehearsals

63 charity evenings, over 106,874 spectators, over 1.5 million euros raised, 49 associations supported since 2010 .

These are the numbers of Open rehearsals of Filarmonica della Scala, now a full-fledged musical season that each year allows the public to attend the tuning of great concerts at affordable prices while contributing to important projects in the social field. Once again this year, the very popular charity cycle allows the public to attend concert rehearsals by opening the doors of the Teatro alla Scala at moderate prices with a social purpose: four ticketed events, from March 17 to November 3, 2024, anticipating the respective concerts of the season, raise funds for as many projects of Milanese nonprofit associations. The Open rehearsals 2024 cycle is dedicated to four Third Sector entities that carry out projects in Milan aimed at combating educational poverty: Don Gino Rigoldi Foundation, Mercury Association, Children in Crisis Italy Onlus Association, Giambellino Community Social Cooperative.

From caring for children to combating poverty, from caring for the elderly to caring for people with disabilities, from scientific research to projects for suburban youth, over the years Open rehearsals has in fact contributed to meeting various community needs. This is thanks to the generous participation of the orchestra's musicians, conductors and soloists, the collaboration between the Teatro alla Scala, the City of Milan and Main Partner UniCredit, joined by Esselunga; and finally thanks to the support of UniCredit Foundation, which identifies the area of intervention, evaluates the projects of nonprofit organizations and covers the organizational costs.

The initiative is also made possible through the collaboration of media partners ViviMilano and Radio Popolare.
