Gala Des Etoiles

Description

A very special dance occasion in honour of a celestial alignment of events, the Gala des Étoiles celebrates the Ballet Corp's time-honoured tradition of a Grand Gala at La Scala as it coincides with Milan's tenure as host city of EXPO 2015. Symbolically espousing the spirit of the Universal Exposition by bringing together outstanding international talent, La Scala's étoiles Svetlana Zakharova, Roberto Bolle and Massimo Murru extend Milan's red carpet to a veritable constellation of guest dancers from around the world, including rising stars and luminaries of the ballet universe.WorksThree PreludesLucia Lacarra; Marlon DinoChoreography: Ben StevensonMusic: Sergei RachmaninovSolo Piano: Roberto CominatiL'Histoire de Manon - Pas de Deux, Act I Scene 2Melissa Hamilton; Claudio CovielloChoreography: Kenneth MacmillanMusic: Jules MassenetLe Rose MaladeMaria Eichwald; Mick ZeniBallet by Roland PetitMusic: Gustav MahlerGrand Pas ClassiqueAlina Somova; Leoinid SarafanovChoreography: Victor GsovskyMusic: Daniel-Francois AuberCarmen - Pas de DeuxPolina Semionova; Roberto BolleBallet by Roland PetitMusic: Georges BizetThe Dying SwanSvetlana ZakharovaChoreography: Mikhail FokineMusic: Camille Saint-SaensDon Quixote - Grand Pas de Deux, Act 3Nicoletta Manni; Ivan VasilievChoreography: Marius PetipaMusic: Ludwig MinkusLight Rain - Pas de DeuxLucia Lacarra; Marlon DinoChoreography: Gerald ArpinoMusic: Douglas Adams; Russ GauthierRomeo & Juliet - Pas de Deux, Act 1 Scene 6Maria Eichwald; Massimo MurruChoreography: Kenneth MacMillanMusic: Sergei ProkofievSpartacus - Pas de deuxMaria VinoGradova; Ivan VasilievChoreography: Yury GrigorovichMusic: Aram KhachurianPrototypeRoberto BolleConcept & Choreography: Massimiliano VolpiniOriginal Music: Piero SalvatoriMusic Production: Faustro DaseLe Corsaire - Pas de DeuxSvetlana Zakharova; Leonid SarafanovMusic: Riccardo DrigoDance of the HoursMusic: Amilcare PonchielliPress Reviews"Technically the dancing was brilliant, at times jaw-droppingly so, featuring very demanding leaps, turns, and some exhilarating lifts in the pas de deux.
