Teatro alla Scala Ballet Company

О событии

Part of the renomated Festival Ljubljana 2009, this event presents the Ballett Company of one of the most prestigious Theaters in Italy and in the world.

Mythical was the union, between academic dance and the live music of Pink Floyd, which premiered in 1973 at the Palais des Sports in Marseille: a true rock ballet that only the open‐mindedness of Roland Petit could have conceived, conquered by the evocative powers of the visionary music of Pink Floyd in those years. Petit has transposed onto pointe shoes – though not only – the energy of this music, in a kaleidoscopic flood of light and laser effects that were well worthy of the live experimentation of the English band. Over time the four initial sections grew in stature and the ballet, in its most articulate structure, was presented practically the whole world over. For Italy, it is La Scala that will present the ballet for the first time in its entirety in June 2009. Despite the fact that this time it will not be played live, historic tracks from “The Wall”, “The Dark Side of the Moon”, “Meddle”, “Relics” and “Obscured by Clouds” will resound in 90 minutes of pure dance which will also see the entire La Scala Ballet company involved in solos, duos and group sections.
