Chacaturjan / Kodaly / De Falla / Stravinskij / Tjeknavorian: Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano

About the Event

With a dance step, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian leads the audience on a journey of discovery through some of the most precious pages dedicated to ballet. He does so by bringing ‘his’ interpretation of this repertoire to the stage of the Milan Auditorium for the first time, presenting a suite he himself created from the ballet Gayane by his illustrious compatriot Aram Khachaturian. Together with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, the Music Director creates an itinerary focused on ballet: alongside the Armenian composer we find Stravinsky with The Firebird, a perfect expression of his ‘Russian’ compositional phase, and Manuel de Falla with The Three‐Cornered Hat, both ballets written for the brilliant Diaghilev, deus ex machina of the Ballets Russes.
