Workers at La Scala opera house in Milan are threatening to stage a strike next week that would cancel the first three performances of "La Boheme."

But union representative Giancarlo Albori said Wednesday that talks with management were still going on. He said a decision on whether to strike would be made at the end of meetings, possibly on Friday.

Scenery and costume workers, chorus members and the orchestra are in contract renewal talks.

The strike would target the July 7 performance of Puccini's "La Boheme" _ a production by Franco Zeffirelli _ as well as performances July 9 and 11.
