After the success of last season, the Teatro Alla Scala Corps de Ballet returns to the TAM with a brand new program!

Between novelties and repertoire, the Balletto della Scala returns to the TAM with a program that brings together some of the most recently acquired titles, remodeled on the talents of its leading artists or created specifically for the Company. A company that opens up to today but keeps the story alive, celebrated in the very classic finale, and which also in the performances at the TAM will see the first dancers in full force - Antonella Albano, Martina Arduino, Nicoletta Manni, Alice Mariani, Virna Toppi, Marco Agostino, Timofej Andrijashenko, Claudio Coviello, Nicola Del Freo - the soloists and artists of the Corps de Ballet for whom these works have been created or rearranged. A journey into the beauty of dance and its stylistic variations, which unfolds through the contemporaneity of the choreographic signatures, and starts with András Lukács with Movements to Stravinsky, created in 2017 for the Wiener Stattsballett on pieces from ballets and orchestral compositions (Pulcinella Suite, Les Cinq Doigts, Apollon Musagète, Suite Italienne). This elegant, minimalist and abstract production, visually inspired by the Renaissance, entered the repertoire of the Scala Ballet last year, maintains the balance between ballet and contemporary dance and has made it possible to get to know the choreographic work of Lukács, successfully undertaken since 1999.

From Stravinskij to Verdi, with Verdi Suite, the first creation by Manuel Legris for the Balletto della Scala of which he inaugurated the direction. Conceived specifically for the event “… A riveder le stelle”, as a divertissement in homage to Italian dance and music, and to the technique of the Scaligeri artists. The choreography comes to life on the music that Giuseppe Verdi wrote for the dances in his works I vespri siciliani, Jérusalem and the French version of Il Trovatore. A musical fabric full of liveliness and energy which was then expanded with further movements for the corps de ballet on extracts from the Queen's Ball (La Peregrina) by Don Carlos.

The charm of baroque music permeates the intensity of The labyrinth of solitude, a solo of great expressive force created by Patrick de Bana for Ivan Vasiliev in 2011 on the Chaconne in G min. by Tomaso Antonio Vitali. Principal at the Béjart Ballet and at the Compañia Nacional de Danza with Nacho Duato, de Bana is one of the most interesting authors of the contemporary scene, with a unique personality, eclectic like his background, he has worked with great names in choreography and created all over the world and with great performers.

Sensitivity and modernity also animate Birds walking on water, a delicate but powerful creation that Manuel Legris entrusted last year to the original talent of Natalia Horecna. Already a dancer with Hamburg Ballett, Nederlands Dance Theater, Scapino Ballet, she has distinguished herself internationally as a free lance choreographer, collaborating with important artists and companies and with equally important awards; conceived this work on the music of Arvo Pärt (Darf ich ...), Jean Sibelius (the second and third movements of the Concerto for violin and orchestra op. 47) and Vladimir Martynov (Come in!, first movement), for three main couples, five couples and a "leader" of the group.

From the present and the future, the variations of beauty bring back to history, to tradition, to the great repertoire, with one of the greatest points of reference in the creative path: to seal the evening, the Divertissement da Paquita, an exciting showcase of great dance, for soloists and the corps de ballet, in the Grand Pas and in the variations of the second act, among the highest achievements ever in the art of Marius Petipa.
