MILAN

Conductor Daniel Barenboim will take on a prominent role at La Scala, more than a year after conductor Riccardo Muti resigned from his post at the Milan opera house, a spokesman for the theater said Wednesday.

Barenboim will have a "a long and continuous working relationship" with the theater, but will not step into Muti's place as La Scala's music director, Carlo Maria Cella said.

The conductor's work in Milan will take place within a "wide-ranging collaboration" between La Scala and Berlin's Staatsoper, of which Barenboim is general music director, Cella said. (sigue)
