Contemporary Visions: Teatro Comunale di Bologna

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Bologna's breathtaking Comunale Nouveau for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of classical music.

Eleonora Abbagnato, now serving as the director of the corps de ballet at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, presents an exciting new program crafted by three contemporary dance luminaries. From the UK, Christopher Wheeldon offers 'Within the Golden Hour', a compelling ballet for fourteen dancers, featuring a central duo, built on elective correspondences. Spain's Goyo Montero introduces 'Chacona', executed in his signature dynamic and radiant post‐classical style. Rounding off the lineup, Krzysztof Pastor from Poland showcases his unique take on 'Bolero', spotlighting a duo that stands out amidst the corps de ballet.
