Since its foundation, the Children's Choir regularly participates in opera productions and concerts at the Teatro alla Scala and is a guest in the seasons of important musical institutions such as the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano 'G. Verdi'...
Participations in opera productions of the most recent seasons of the Teatro alla Scala include Carmen (2015), Tosca (2015 and 2019), Turandot (2015), Der Rosenkavalier (2016), La bohème (2017), Attila (2018), Die tote Stadt (2019), La dama di picche (2022)...
In the field of concert activity, mention should be made in 2013 of the Christmas concert conducted by Daniel Harding, in 2015 of the concert with the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Mariss Jansons. Between 2016 and 2019, always at La Scala, we highlight Britten's Il piccolo spazzacamino, the concerts included in the 'Grandi Spettacoli per piccoli' project under the baton of Maestro Casoni, Mahler's Third Symphony conducted by Iván Fischer with the Budapest Festival Orchestra (2016) and by Riccardo Chailly with the La Scala Philharmonic (2017). In 2019, the Children's Choir took part at Chambord Castle in the opening ceremony of the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, performing in the presence of the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella and the President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron.
